I long thought about how to present thisโฆ
๐งฉ "The Final Decode" ๐งฉ
๐Q1 - ๐ฉธQ2 - ๐Q3 - ๐ฉธQ4
(Overall = 2026๐ปBear Market Year)
I've considered creating a lengthy ๐งตthread with all the findings and little details, but I soon realized it might not be useful.
Many would just scroll past it and not fully read it, missing and forgetting details that can actually be exploited to have an advantage.
So, at the end, my approach will be similar to the 2025 cover.
Throughout 2026, month by month, quarter by quarter, I'll be releasing decoded parts of this cover that I believe can serve as a rough guide to navigate the market.
Something that can be used to ๐๏ธpredict the future.
It begins today.
In my very first post, I've highlighted how, in all the chaos, it is possible to find clarity by following simple directions:

After all these weeks, my idea hasn't changed, and I've actually built a thesis around it:
๐Q1 - ๐ฉธQ2 - ๐Q3 - ๐ฉธQ4
Let's start with a simple fact:
- Tom Standage (Editor)
- Stephen Petch (Creative Director)
These 2 are the same people who gave us last year's fairly accurate cover "The World Ahead 2025"
Given this fact:
Isn't it plausible to assume that hints and clues are similarly hidden inside this year's cover?
"But why would you divide the picture this way?
With Q1 at the bottom?"
I followed 2 main clues:
โท๏ธSkier = Italy Winter Olympics (Q1)
โฝ๏ธSoccer Player (@Cristiano ) = Kicks the ball/begins the match
There are 2 more hints that we can gather from this section:
๐ฒCracked Dollar = DXY weakening (positive for risk assets)
๐ธFlying Banknotes = "Money Printing"
This would imply a positive ๐ข green Q1 2026.
