🇯🇵 Japan Rate Hike & Bitcoin — What Traders Should Watch
If Japan raises interest rates this week, Bitcoin could face significant downside pressure, potentially pushing price below the 80K level. Here’s the reasoning behind that view.
Historically, every major interest rate hike by Japan has been followed by a 20–25% correction in Bitcoin. This pattern isn’t random — it’s rooted in liquidity dynamics.
Why does this happen?
1. When Japan raises interest rates, borrowing becomes more expensive
2. Higher rates lead to reduced global liquidity
3. Capital tends to move away from risk assets
4. Cryptocurrencies, like equities, are considered high-risk assets
5. As liquidity dries up, Bitcoin typically comes under selling pressure

📅 Why this matters now
Japan is expected to announce another rate hike next week, potentially as high as 75 basis points.
If confirmed, increased downside volatility around December 19 becomes a realistic scenario.
In an aggressive outcome, Bitcoin could even test the 70K region.
This is not meant to create fear — it’s about being prepared, not reactive.

🧠 A reminder for traders
Markets don’t move because of “manipulation.”
They move because of liquidity.
Experienced traders don’t wait for price to react — they position themselves ahead of key macro events.
That’s why closely monitoring Japan’s interest rate decision is critical in the days ahead.

📊 Track record & outlook
Just yesterday, we highlighted a potential BTC relief rally toward 90K — and price delivered, moving from the 88K zone back into the 90K area, exactly as anticipated.
Consistent preparation and macro awareness have allowed us to navigate Bitcoin’s major moves throughout the year.
Congratulations to everyone who stayed informed and positioned accordingly.
