Did Japan's rate hike fail to shake BTC? Don't be fooled, this is a life-and-death game of trillion-level 'draining vs flooding'
Brothers, this isn't nothing happening; it's that the matter is too big to see immediately. Last night, the Bank of Japan raised interest rates to a 30-year high, according to the script, Bitcoin should have been knocked into a 'golden pit', but what happened? It didn't crash, and even bounced a bit. Many people were stunned on the spot, saying liquidity was supposed to recede, so why is there no splash at all?
Don't be deceived by this strange calm. This is not tranquility; beneath the surface, two prehistoric beasts have already killed each other. On one side, Japan, the 'global draining machine,' is beginning to withdraw cheap yen, trying to end a decades-long arbitrage cycle; on the other side, the 'institutional flooding outlet' in the United States is wide open, Bitcoin ETFs continue to draw in funds, pouring real money into BTC. This is not an emotional game; it's trillion-level liquidity clashing hard in the Bitcoin arena.
What you see now as sideways movement is just a smokescreen of this war. Because when forces are evenly matched, prices will only stagnate, but once one side lets go, the movement will not give any time for reaction. The real danger is not the current stillness, but when the next move happens, the direction will be extreme, and the speed will be ruthless.
More cruelly, this war has exposed the reality:
Bitcoin is becoming fully institutionalized; altcoins are being systematically abandoned.
BTC is the main battlefield of draining vs flooding, the chessboard of the whales; while most altcoins, in a tense liquidity environment, are just chips that are prioritized for sacrifice.
When the gods fight, those shattered by the aftermath are never the gods.
If you are still using 'the old rhythm' to view the current market,
then you are not trading; you are gambling with your life.
This is not a normal market cycle,
this is a critical point of liquidity era transition. $BTC
