The Bank of Japan just hiked rates to 0.75%. On paper? Bad for risk assets. In reality? Bitcoin moved UP.
Why? Because the market already knew. There was a ~98% chance this hike was coming — it was fully priced in.
What really mattered wasn’t the decision… it was the tone 🎙️ The BOJ Governor signaled future tightening will be slow, careful, and controlled.
That instantly calmed fears of a sudden yen carry trade unwind — where cheap yen flows out of higher-yield assets like crypto.
Earlier this month, many expected a BOJ hike to drag $BTC below $70K due to liquidity tightening. Instead? The market shrugged it off and moved higher.
Lesson for traders: 📌 Headlines don’t move markets — expectations do 📌 Liquidity matters more than rate decisions 📌 If everyone expects bad news, the impact is already gone
Smart money trades before the news. Retail reacts after it. 🚀
expected)- I'm surprised that inflation cooling faster than anyone thought, fueling a massive crypto bounce with $BTC spiking 2.5% to
$89K!
RISK-ON MODE ACTIVATED: If Bitcoin keeps running, expect high-beta alts like ETH, SOL, and XRP to absolutely crush it on rotation and narrative strength. Ethereum's upgrades, $SOL Solana's DeFi dominance, and XRP's ETF hype are primed to shine brightest. Santa rally loading... who's stacking alts?
Fidelity recently mentioned that Bitcoin's traditional 4-year halving cycle may be changing, and some investors think we could be entering a supercycle - similar to how commodities ran for almost a decade in the 2000s.
A supercycle would mean extended strong performance rather than sharp boom-and-bust swings tied strictly to halving events.
So... are we in for a major bull run in 2026?
Here's a realistic take:
Not a guarantee, but it's a possibility. Structural shifts (broader institutional demand, macro liquidity, regulatory clarity) could stretch cycles beyond the old 4-year template.
⚫ Supercycle conditions require broad adoption, not just price hype - more real use cases, ETF inflows, on-chain demand, and institutional participation.
Cycle extensions don't mean straight up - even supercycles have corrections, consolidation, and volatility.
2026 may indeed be a big year, but the pace and pattern will depend on market drivers, just historical labels.
In short: a 2026 bull phase is possible, but "supercycle" isn't a prediction - it's a narrative that still needs real-world catalysts to play out.
In the second half of 2025, #Bitcoin❗ diverged sharply from US equities, falling nearly 18% over six months while the Nasdaq rose 21%, the S&P 500 gained 14.35%, and the Dow climbed 12.11%.
In markets, greed whispers “just one more trade” when discipline says stop. It turns smart plans into emotional decisions. Profits into revenge trades. Confidence into over-leverage.
Greed makes people buy tops, ignore risk, and forget why they entered in the first place. It convinces you that rules don’t apply this time — and that’s usually the moment everything breaks.
The market doesn’t punish beginners. It punishes greed disguised as confidence.
Control greed, and you control risk. Control risk, and you survive. Survive long enough… and opportunity finds you.

BTC is trying to move higher, but the structure still isn't fully convincing. Yes, price is holding up for now, but the recovery pattern is turning out to be a rising wedge, which means bulls are still not in full control.
I would really like to see $BTC push above the top of this structure and show real strength. Until then, this kind of recovery needs caution,
because if momentum fades again, the price can easily break back lower.
$BTC short-term holders are officially in the pain cave
Recent buyers are deep underwater, unrealized losses piling up, sentiment looking... ugly. And if you've been here before, you know this zone It's the same exhaustion pocket we saw earlier in 2025 - when everyone felt cooked right before
BTC decided to bounce like nothing happened.
What's wild is how fast profit flipped to loss. One minute green, next minute full-on capitulation energy.
And historically? These moments don't last forever. They either break confidence completely... or light the fuse for a reversal.
This is exactly why I'm glued to the charts on BingX right now
Clean execution, no lag, and tools that actually help when volatility spikes - because these are the zones where fast reactions matter most.
End-of-year setup feels like:
Fear rising
Weak hands folding
Smart money watching
If buyers step in, this pain zone could turn into the launchpad.If not... well, that's why risk management is the real main character.Either way, I'm staying flexible and trading where the momentum shows up not where emotions scream the loudest.
🌕✨ No matter how wild $BTC dances — up, down, sideways like a confused crab — the public companies’ treasuries just keep stacking sats like: “Volatility? Never heard of her.” 😂
Every dip? They treat it like a Black Friday sale. Every pump? They smile like they knew it all along. 😎
Bitcoin shakes… Markets quake… But those corporate bags? Still growing like they’re on protein powder. 💪🟧
