Market focus is currently on the Bank of Japan (BOJ) policy shift and its impact on Bitcoin and the broader crypto market. Here is a clear, fact-based breakdown.
WHAT BOJ IS DOING
BOJ has moved away from ultra-loose monetary policy and signaled higher interest rates. This affects global liquidity, especially the yen carry trade, which was widely used to fund risk assets including crypto.
IMPACT ON CRYPTO
• Higher Japanese rates reduce cheap yen funding
• Carry trade unwinding causes temporary selling pressure
• Global liquidity tightens, affecting risk assets like BTC
• Volatility increases around policy announcements
IS IT ALREADY PRICED IN?
PARTIALLY YES, FULLY NO
What is already priced in:
• BTC corrected before the BOJ decision
• Leverage reduced, funding cooled
• Market expected a hawkish tone
What is NOT fully priced in:
• Long-term impact of continued BOJ tightening
• Gradual carry trade unwinding over weeks, not days
• Possible spillover into global equity and risk market.
SHORT-TERM VIEW
BTC may remain volatile or range-bound
Liquidity is thin, so sharp moves are possible
Further downside only if macro fear increases
MEDIUM-TERM VIEW
If BOJ tightening stays limited and other central banks turn dovish, BTC can stabilize and resume upside
If global liquidity worsens, risk assets may stay under pressure
BOJ policy is a headwind, not a trend killer
BTC is reacting to liquidity, not fundamentals
This is risk management time, not panic time.
Trade smart. Buy dips with confirmation, not fear.
