🚨 WHY MARKETS GOT CHOPPY THIS WEEK
This volatility didn’t come out of nowhere.
Markets are reacting to expectations that the Bank of Japan is stepping away from ultra-loose policy — and yes, that creates short-term noise for Bitcoin.
We’ve seen this movie before 👇
📅 Jan 24, 2025
🇯🇵 BoJ raised rates 0.25% → 0.50%
What followed?
• BTC moved to exchanges (risk positioning)
• Funding rates dropped (leverage flushed)
• Price dipped — but long-term structure held
Now fast-forward to today 👀
The same setup is playing out:
• Stronger Yen → carry trades unwind
• Leverage comes off the table
• Short-term volatility spikes
📌 This is positioning, not panic.
The last BoJ hike was largely priced in, and once leverage reset, Bitcoin stabilized.
That’s why macro isn’t bearish here —
it’s just explaining the noise.
Smart money watches structure, not candles.
