This isn't good.

The Bank of Japan is expected to hike rates again on June 16.

Every time the BOJ has raised rates in the past, Bitcoin has taken a nosedive:

March 2024: $BTC dropped 18%.
July 2024: BTC fell 30%.
January 2025: BTC plummeted 31%.
December 2025: BTC sank 32%.

Some of these drops were immediate, while others took about 2-4 weeks to kick in.

Will this pattern repeat, or is this time going to be different?
