🚨 Macro Alert: Japan breaks a 30-year record! What impact for BTC?
The Bank of Japan (BoJ) is about to strike hard. According to the latest forecasts, a 25 basis point rate hike is expected this Friday, bringing the rate to 0.75%.
Why is it historic?
It's the highest level since 1995. Under Kazuo Ueda's era, Japan is definitively exiting its ultra-accommodative policy.
For Pro investors, this means one thing: the potential end of 'free' money from the Yen.
🔍 The Deep Analysis: The risk of 'Carry Trade'
The crypto market is extremely sensitive to global liquidity. Historically, investors borrowed Yen (at 0% rate) to buy risky assets (Tech Stocks, Bitcoin).
The danger: A Japanese rate hike strengthens the Yen and forces institutions to unwind their leveraged positions.
The opportunity: If the market has already 'priced-in' this hike, we could see short-term volatility followed by healthy stabilization.
💡 What you need to watch:
The USD/JPY pair: A sharp drop of the dollar against the yen could trigger shocks on BTC in the short term.
Inverse correlation: Historically, a strong Yen puts pressure on high-risk assets.
Verdict for your portfolio: Don't panic, but watch your leverage.
Macro-economics are regaining their rights on the chart.
