🇯🇵 Macro Insight: The Bank of Japan & Bitcoin
The News
The Bank of Japan (BoJ) recently raised its key interest rate by 0.25% to reach 0.75%. This is a significant moment for Japan’s economy, marking the highest rates in nearly 30 years as they move toward policy normalization.
Market Reaction
* Bitcoin: Remained relatively stable, trading in the $86,000–$87,000 range.
* Fiat: The Japanese Yen weakened following the news.
Why wasn't there high volatility?
In financial markets, we often hear the phrase "priced in." This means that investors largely expected this rate hike and had already adjusted their positions before the official announcement.
While Bitcoin is sensitive to global macro factors—like interest rates and liquidity—it does not always react dramatically to news that the market has already anticipated.
