Some observers point to early signals from betting markets suggesting relative Republican weakness, which could create incentives for policymakers to foster more market-friendly economic conditions ahead of the vote.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"889\" data-end=\"1406\">Under this framework, a three-phase timeline unfolds. The first phase envisions a broader market correction in early 2026, accompanied by intensified criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. The second phase anticipates mounting pressure by mid-2026 for a shift in monetary policy. Faced with economic and political constraints, policymakers could lean toward easing liquidity conditions. The final phase projects a recovery in asset markets during the second half of 2026, aligning with the election period.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"889\" data-end=\"1406\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-156382 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/coinmuhendisi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/abd-senatosiu.jpg\" alt=\"abd senatosu stablecoin yasas\u0131\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1408\" data-end=\"1445\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CStructure_First_Politics_Later%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>\u201cStructure First, Politics Later\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1447\" data-end=\"1850\">This perspective argues that rising asset prices tend to improve public sentiment rapidly. Dividend income, potential tax relief for small businesses, and an overall \u201cfeel-good\u201d economic environment can reshape voter psychology. Conversely, during downturns, the Federal Reserve often becomes a focal point for blame, creating room for political narratives to evolve once liquidity conditions stabilize.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1852\" data-end=\"2034\">In this view, markets lead and politics follow. Structural liquidity trends shape economic momentum, which in turn influences political outcomes\u2014not necessarily the other way around.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2036\" data-end=\"2057\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lessons_From_2024\"><\/span>Lessons From 2024<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2059\" data-end=\"2490\">A comparable pattern emerged after the 2024 election cycle. Following Donald Trump\u2019s victory, cryptocurrencies rallied sharply, with Bitcoin reaching record highs amid expectations of a more crypto-friendly regulatory climate and supportive lawmakers. However, by early 2026, much of that post-election momentum had faded. Bitcoin retreated toward the $60,000 level as macroeconomic pressures mounted and initial optimism subsided.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2492\" data-end=\"2682\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Against this backdrop, the 2026 midterms are being watched not merely as a political event, but as a potential liquidity-driven catalyst that could redefine the trajectory of crypto markets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2492\" data-end=\"2682\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><em>You can also freely share your thoughts and comments about the topic in the comment section.
