There’s been a lot of talk around Japan’s upcoming yen interest rate hike, but this time the crypto market may not feel the pressure like before. Earlier rate hikes triggered fear and pushed Bitcoin down sharply, but the current situation looks very different.

Right now, traders are already positioned long on the @yen, which reduces the chances of a sudden shock after the Bank of Japan’s decision. On top of that, Japanese government bond yields—both short-term and long-term—have been rising for months and are already at multi-decade highs. This suggests the market has largely priced in the move.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Reserve is easing conditions by cutting rates and adding liquidity, which helps balance global risk sentiment. Taken together, these factors point to lower chances of panic selling, yen carry trade unwinding, or year-end risk-off behavior.

In short, this rate hike looks more like an adjustment—not a trigger.
