Why now
- Timing aligns with year-end/year-start positioning and outlook publishing
- Two Cointelegraph prediction formats landed on Dec. 31, targeting 2026 scenarios
- U.Today explicitly frames the transition into 2026 as calm
Why it matters
- Low-volatility framing can shape how audiences interpret near-term risk conditions
- Forecast roundups can anchor expectations even when markets are described as calm
- AI-model ranges add a second “prediction layer” to year-ahead narratives
