Today's day has turned into a real 'rollercoaster'. Despite the fact that inflation in the USA (CPI) turned out to be lower than expected (2.7%), the market continues to fall.
🔍 What is really happening?
🔴 The 'shadow' of Japan returns
The main reason for the tension is the Bank of Japan meeting (December 18-19). An increase in the rate to 0.75% is expected, which could again trigger a large-scale unwinding of the 'yen carry trade'. Traders remember the summer of 2024 and are cashing out in advance.
🌡️Fear index at maximum.
The cryptocurrency fear and greed index fell to 24 points (Extreme Fear), although in our case it rose, because just recently it was 11. Investors are wary of cascading liquidations.
⚙️Pressure from miners and security
Miners are forced to sell BTC to fund AI infrastructure. Additionally, news about record hacker attacks in 2025 ($3.4 billion) adds pessimism.
📊 Current situation of assets:
✅$BTC holds around $86,000, trying to find support.
✅The most affected $SUI (-4.89%) and $DOGE (-3.66%), as risk assets are sold off first.
💡 What to do?
The market is currently ignoring a good report from the US, fearing a 'Japanese shock'. If the Bank of Japan is less aggressive than expected tomorrow, we could see a sharp rebound amid low inflation in the US. However, if the rate is raised sharply — prepare for a deeper correction👇
