๐ข๐ถ BANK OF JAPAN RATE HIKE โ WHAT IT MEANS FOR BTC ๐ฏ๐ต
๐งฝ The Bank of Japan meets Dec 18โ19, 2025, with markets expecting a 25 bps hike
โก๏ธ 0.50% โ 0.75% (first hike since Jan 2025)
๐พ Impact chain: โข Higher rates โ Stronger JPY
โข Stronger yen โ Yen carry trade unwind
โข Liquidity tightens โ Risk assets feel pressure
๐ History check:
Past BOJ hikes (2024โ2025) were followed by BTC drawdowns of 23โ31%, driven by global deleveraging.
๐ง My take (neutral โ constructive):
โข This hike is largely priced in
โข No panic unless BOJ signals further tightening
๐ฏ Ideal scenario:
A controlled dip to $82Kโ$79K = strong buy-the-dip zone
๐๏ธ BTCUSDT Perp:
$86,287
๐ฟ Markets are watching BOJ โ but reaction may be calmer than history suggests.
