Introduction
The next two years come with predictions that feel less like “one big event” and more like a rolling recalibration. These predictions point to systems being tightened, tested, and rebuilt—finance, infrastructure, food supply, insurance, and even how people think about authority. The predictions don’t describe an “end”; they describe a reformatting: pressure reveals weak points, weak points force redesign, and redesign changes everyday life.
What makes these predictions especially notable is the pattern: short, sharp shocks followed by rapid stabilisation—then new rules layered over the top. In other words, the predictions suggest volatility as a pathway to control for some, and volatility as a pathway to sovereignty for others.
Predictions for the Financial Reset: Shock, Stabilise, Regulate
A central set of predictions focuses on a “financial reset” theme across 2026 and 2027. The predictions describe a recognisable midsize US bank failure that triggers public fear, lines at banks, withdrawal limits (even if temporary), and heavy reassurance messaging. Markets, in these predictions, dip hard for roughly seven weeks, recover around the eleven-week mark, and then fully recover—yet the shock becomes the justification for expanding digital banking controls.
These predictions don’t frame it as a repeat of 2008; they frame it as a psychologically significant event—big enough to change behaviour, not big enough to collapse the whole structure. That distinction matters because many predictions here are really about how narratives reshape policy.
Commercial property as the slow-burn pressure point
A second wave of financial predictions targets commercial real estate. The predictions describe a major commercial real estate holding group/fund collapsing and restructuring, leaving large city office buildings partially empty and making refinancing “impossible at current rates” during the rupture window (late 2026 into early 2027). The knock-ons in these predictions include pension stress, municipal budget strain, and discounted asset sales—followed by quiet accumulation of “physical assets” at reduced prices.
In these predictions, the reset is not a single crash. It’s a tightening spiral: consolidation, restructuring, and a drawn-out re-pricing of risk.
Predictions for Markets and Capital: The Infrastructure Thesis
Many of the predictions suggest capital keeps flowing toward “hard infrastructure” for the digital age: compute, power, security, and logistics. Even in volatility, the predictions emphasise continued institutional investment in AI and chip infrastructure.
AI and chips remain a gravity well
The predictions explicitly point to sustained dominance for AI and chip infrastructure and name specific beneficiaries (examples given include Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, Palantir, and ASML), with “corrections” along the way but continued institutional inflows despite recession fears.
These predictions should be treated as thematic rather than as personal financial guidance, but the message is consistent: compute capacity remains strategic.
Power demand drives energy and nuclear attention
A linked set of predictions focuses on power: AI expansion and EV growth push demand beyond projections, renewing attention on energy grids and nuclear. The predictions highlight growth and renewed focus on specific energy names (examples given include Constellation Energy, NextEra Energy, and Exxon Mobil).
Defence and cyber spending rises
The predictions also suggest defence and cyber warfare expansion, naming large defence contractors as likely strength areas (examples given include Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman).
This connects to the broader predictions about conflict shifting away from declared wars and toward technological disruption.
Predictions for Crypto: Two Streams, One Trend
A major cluster of predictions addresses crypto as a social signal of trust.
Bitcoin: scare, then recovery
The predictions describe a sharp correction that scares retail investors followed by a powerful recovery and new highs within the next cycle—tied directly to declining trust in traditional systems.
Ethereum and Solana: volatile but core
These predictions also position Ethereum and Solana as doing well over the next couple of years, with volatile swings but continued relevance as core infrastructure for decentralised finance.
At the same time, the predictions anticipate many smaller altcoins vanishing under regulatory pressure.
The split: regulated rails vs parallel ecosystems
One of the clearest predictions is a bifurcation:
- regulated digital currency systems that may not be branded as CBDCs but are “structurally similar,” and
- parallel decentralised ecosystems that survive repeated volatility cycles and stabilise around utility-based tokens.
In plain terms, these predictions say: crypto doesn’t disappear; it polarises into “approved rails” and “alternative rails.”

Predictions for Infrastructure: Cyber as the New Weather
A striking set of predictions is about a major cyber attack on infrastructure within roughly 18 months. The predictions outline attacks affecting airline navigation systems (GNSS), a major telecom system, a major banking network, and a power grid system in the US, with outages lasting hours for the grid and days for telecom.
The downstream predictions are equally important: these events accelerate cybersecurity laws and digital identity systems.
So the predictions aren’t just about disruption; they’re about the policy “answer” that follows disruption.
Predictions for Climate and Food: Water, Flooding, and Price Spikes
The environmental predictions are blunt: “water, water, water,” meaning increased flooding in unexpected places over the next 12–18 months.
These predictions describe dry regions getting floods they can’t absorb, intensified storm systems, temperature swings, and agricultural disruption—especially in the US Midwest.
A key Europe-linked disruption
Among the predictions is a significant flooding event in Europe that damages a major port in an agricultural region (location unspecified in the material, but the port is framed as critical).
Food prices: temporary spikes, not total collapse
The predictions anticipate temporary food price spikes: around 6 months in the US, ~13 months in the UK, and ~8 months in Canada, framed as a “temporary food price strike.”
At the same time, the predictions emphasise that food supply is not “collapsing,” but that households are pushed toward local sourcing, resilience planning, and basic growing systems (gardens, hydroponics, aquaponics).
Insurance strain as the quiet crisis
The predictions also point to insurance markets coming under major strain in roughly 10–11 months, alongside increased climate adaptation spending.
This matters because insurance is where climate meets personal budgets; these predictions imply the squeeze shows up through premiums, exclusions, and availability.
Predictions for Conflict: Escalation Without a Declared World War
The geopolitical predictions are specific in tone: escalation, but not a formally pronounced world war. The predictions describe intensifying tensions expressed through cyber warfare, trade restrictions, proxy conflicts, and persistent instability that becomes “the new normal.”
They also describe conflict moving into satellites, financial systems, and information networks—less visible, more technological, and often covert.
If you’re tracking these predictions, the practical takeaway is that “risk” looks like outages, supply disruptions, and sudden policy shifts—not necessarily headlines about troop movements.
Predictions for Work and Livelihood: Fragmentation and the Creator Economy
A grounded portion of the predictions concerns jobs—what grows, what shrinks, and how careers reorganise.
What grows
The predictions highlight stability and growth in AI engineering, skilled trades, healthcare (especially home healthcare and nursing aids), and independent creators/educators.
What shrinks
The predictions describe shrinking corporate roles (especially repetitive roles), traditional media, and low-skill remote admin jobs inside large corporations, with “AI optimisation” used as a restructuring rationale.
The new shape of employment
The predictions say the workforce fragments into more independent specialists and self-employment versus institutional corporate employees.
In short, these predictions anticipate a shift from compliance-based job security to skill-based portfolio living.
Predictions for Housing and Cost of Living: Sticky Prices, Sudden Corrections
Another thread of predictions claims housing stays stubbornly high through much of the year—not from strength, but from inventory manipulation and rate pressure. Then, certain regions see sudden corrections later (late 2026 into early 2027), while commercial real estate continues quietly destabilising through emptying and conversion.
If these predictions play out, the lived experience is uneven: some areas feel frozen in place; others reprice abruptly.
Predictions for Personal Resilience: The Four-Point Playbook
Across all categories, the predictions keep returning to one theme: stability comes from internal regulation and practical preparation, not panic.
The predictions lay out a simple, repeated readiness approach:
- Stabilise the nervous system.
- Reduce unnecessary debt.
- Build trade skills, creative skills, intuitive skills, and community networks.
- Create rather than cling—stay internally steady so you can move through changing conditions with more ease.
Even if you treat all predictions as symbolic, this part functions as a practical checklist. The predictions imply that those who diversify skills, reduce fragility, and strengthen community ties navigate volatility better than those who depend on a single system remaining stable.

Pulling the Predictions Together: The Two-Year Pattern
To synthesise the predictions into one model:
- Finance: a visible bank shock + a slower commercial property unwind + consolidation and digital control pressure.
- Infrastructure: cyber disruptions that justify tighter identity and security regimes.
- Climate/food: flooding and volatility that stress ports, agriculture, and insurance, leading to temporary price spikes and regional scarcity—without total collapse.
- Work: fragmentation toward independent specialists and creators, with corporate compression framed as optimisation.
- Power: “war” becomes quieter, more technological, more economic—felt through systems.
These predictions, taken together, suggest that 2026–2027 is less about guessing one headline and more about recognising a rhythm: shock ? adaptation ? new rules. If you want to use the predictions constructively, focus on reducing fragility—financially, practically, and emotionally—so that whatever form the next two years take, you’re not forced into reactive choices.
