Yup, that's the economic trend I forsee at least in next 6 months. And I am expecting the worst scenario coming in the end of this year then probably slowly bounce back. Current market moves are just too fast and make me worried. Within the fluctuation, what is the best strategy should I take to make some quick money and avoid big loss if the worst suddenly come? Should I start long some USD assets? I believe when rest of world follows usd fed to print money, dollar is only asset worthy to hold. What your opinion?

In deflationary environment you want to be long cash & liquidity, the value trades will present themselves, patience will be your best asset.

I don´t think usa will have deflation anymore.....since it started to print money the inflationary pressure is something that will happen.....the day tim geithener anounced the plan the TIPS had a huge movement......i like going long in any inflation trade and short usd agaisnt a lot of currency (BRL specially)....if there are a country that will do quantitative easing we should short its currency and go long on inflation

The current situation is pretty much unstable. I have a feeling that we will not observe a pure inflation or deflation. It rather began restructuring in all goods and services prices. On the other hand it is a fat chance that printing will stop when low effect of new measures will be more or less explicit.
