For a while people were saying that the value of the yen would go down by 20 percent because of something called the yen carry trade.. Even with all these worries, about Japan the crypto market did not go down like people thought it would. The crypto market stayed strong.
Bitcoin was able to stay above the eighty five thousand dollar support level. This worked out well for investors who bought Bitcoin before the announcement. They thought it was a time to buy more Bitcoin when the price was low. After people found out about the hike and it was factored into the price people started buying Bitcoin because of the news. This is what people call a "buy the news" surge. Bitcoin investors were happy to see the price go up after they bought it. Bitcoin is still doing well.
