We have an interesting development here—BTCUSDT 4H timeframe. The previous session produced a long upper wick reaching $90,365 right above MA200. This is a bullish signal.

We can see this session producing the highest volume in two weeks. While there was a rejection, the close happened close to the open, this type of candle reveals the removal of resistance. Also a squeeze. Sell orders are being removed before the appearance of higher prices.

This same move also resulted in the liquidation of more than $100 million worth of SHORT positions, which means that over-leveraged traders are having a hard time here.

As long as the action continues to happen above $80,000 on a weekly basis this chart setup remains valid. That is, we can expect higher prices as long as Bitcoin trades above $80,000 on the weekly timeframe.

Notice the highest volume came in 21-November. This continues to be a solid chart setup.

Namaste.

✅ Trade here on $BTC

On December 19th (this Friday), the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is widely expected to raise interest rates.

Potentially to 0.75%, the highest in DECADES.

Here’s exactly what it means for your bags:

It’s not just some random news… it could shake up global markets and hit Bitcoin where it hurts.

Let me break it down step by step, because understanding this could save your portfolio from losing too much value.

First, what's the deal with the BOJ?

Japan has kept interest rates super low (even negative at times) for years to boost their economy.

Think endless cheap money through quantitative easing.

But lately, inflation's picking up, and the yen has been super weak against the dollar.

To fight that, the BOJ's signaling a hike.

Economists are betting on a 0.25% bump from the current 0.5%. This might sound small, but in a world addicted to low rates, it's a big shift.

Now, why does this matter for Bitcoin?

Crypto thrives on liquidity… easy, cheap money flowing into risky assets like stocks, real estate, and yes, BTC.

When central banks raise rates, it makes borrowing more expensive, dries up that liquidity, and investors pull back from high risk plays.

Bitcoin often gets sold off first in these scenarios because it's seen as speculative.

Remember 2022? The US Fed hiked rates aggressively, and BTC crashed from over $60K to under $20K in months.

It wasn't isolated, global tightening triggered it.

Japan is the world's third-largest economy, so their moves create ripples.

A stronger yen from this hike could unwind "carry trades" where people borrow cheap yen to invest in higher-yield stuff like US assets or crypto.

When those trades reverse, it leads to selling pressure across markets, including Bitcoin.

We've already seen BTC hanging around $100k, but it's been volatile.

If the BOJ goes through with this (and sources say it's likely), it might spark a risk-off mood globally.

Hedge funds could liquidate positions, retail traders get margin called, and prices crash.

Not saying it's guaranteed, but history shows central bank pivots = crypto turbulence.

Why should you care beyond your bags?

Bitcoin's now a massive $2T+ asset class, linked to ETFs, institutions, and even countries like El Salvador.

A sharp drop could slow adoption, hurt miners if prices fall below costs, and give regulators more reasons to step in.

On the flip side, if you're a long-term believer, this could be a buying opportunity during the dip.

Btw, i’m the only one who called the exact bottom at $16,000 three years ago and the exact top at $126,000 in october, and i’ll do it again.

Those who still haven’t followed me will regret it.

Here’s how high $XRP could really go… 👇
Most people see XRP trading around $2 and think, “That’s it?” 🤔
But many investors believe this price doesn’t reflect XRP’s real utility yet — especially if banks start using it at scale.
Now imagine this 👇
What if every major bank in Japan used XRP as a bridge asset for settlements? 🚀
🇯🇵 Why Japan Matters So Much for XRP
Japan isn’t just another market — it’s a global banking powerhouse 💼💴
🔹 Home to mega banks like MUFG, SMFG, and Mizuho
🔹 Massive network of regional & shinkin banks
🔹 Nearly 10% of global banking assets under control
📊 Key numbers that matter:
🏦 Total banking assets: ~$9.6 TRILLION
💰 Total deposits: ~$7 TRILLION
📍 ~100 city & regional banks
🏢 ~250 shinkin banks
🏬 ~13,500 domestic branches
That’s not small money — that’s global-scale liquidity 🌍
📈 So… How High Could XRP Go?
To explore this, an aggressive adoption scenario was modeled 👀
🔹 Current XRP price: ~$2
🔹 Current market cap: ~$120B
Now here’s the big assumption 👇
If XRP’s market cap grew to just 10% of Japanese banking assets:
💎 Projected market cap: ~$965B
💰 Estimated XRP price: ~$16 per XRP
📊 That’s nearly an 800% upside from current levels 🚀
⚠️ Important note:
This is a hypothetical and extreme scenario. XRP would mainly power liquidity & settlements, not sit on bank balance sheets. Still, it shows the scale of what’s possible if adoption explodes.
🤝 XRP Is ALREADY Deeply Connected to Japan
This isn’t speculation — it’s already happening 👇
✅ 2016: Ripple partners with SBI Holdings → SBI Ripple Asia
✅ 2017: Japan Bank Consortium launched (61 banks, 80%+ of assets)
✅ 2018: SBI launches VCTRADE, Japan’s first bank-backed crypto exchange (focused on XRP)
✅ 2021: SBI Remit launches XRP-powered cross-border payments
Japan isn’t testing XRP — it’s building with it 🔥
🧠 Final Thought
XRP at $2 looks cheap if global banking adoption plays out.
Japan could be one of the biggest catalysts the market is still underestimating 👀💎
