On December 19, the Bank of Japan announced on Friday an interest rate hike of 25 basis points, raising the uncollateralized overnight call rate to 0.75%, the highest level since 1995. The decision was announced after a two-day policy meeting and was passed with a unanimous 9-0 vote, fully in line with market expectations. After the news broke, Bitcoin led the cryptocurrency market in a rebound, briefly rising over 2%.

Accompanying the market rebound, many well-known analysts and traders expressed bullish views immediately, as the market welcomed a long-awaited improvement in sentiment.

Trader Eugene Ng Ah Sio, who had been silent for nearly a month, posted on his personal channel that most altcoins have entered the final stages of decline, stating, "It's time to start making a watchlist and placing buy orders." Meanwhile, mainstream coins may still have room for decline.

Chinese crypto analyst Ban Mu Xia continued his recent bullish outlook, suggesting that Bitcoin's key resistance level lies between $98,600 and $107,000, with $112,500 being a strong resistance level.

Arthur Hayes boldly proclaimed once again: "Don't go against the Bank of Japan; negative real interest rates are their clear policy. The yen will fall to 200 against the dollar, and Bitcoin will rise to one million dollars."

Even the usually "low-key and taciturn" agent Garrett Jin of the "BTC OG insider whale" quickly posted a call: "Bitcoin and ETH will see a surge, with the first target: Bitcoin at $106,000 and Ethereum at $4,500."

Staying true to his consistent style, he remains bullish on crypto: Following the rate hike in Japan, this is the last major negative factor out of the way. For investment rather than trading, it is still the best spot for investment. Next year, the crypto industry will see significant positive factors, especially in crypto policy, interest rate cuts, and financial on-chain developments, which are three decisive factors. If you want to achieve thousands of dollars in returns, you must endure fluctuations of hundreds of dollars, as the winner in the financial market must first overcome human weaknesses. $AT

The next black swan in the cryptocurrency market?
The MSCI index will decide on January 15, 2026, whether to exclude Strategy. Analysts point out that if Strategy is ultimately excluded, other indices in the global financial market may follow suit, mainly including: the Nasdaq 100 Index, the CRSP US Total Market Index, and the FTSE Russell Index under the London Stock Exchange Group. JPMorgan estimates that if Strategy is excluded by MSCI, it could face an outflow of about 2.8 billion dollars; if further excluded by other indices, the outflow could rise to about 8.8 billion dollars.
Will Strategy be excluded from the MSCI index?

The agreement has been approved, which will be beneficial. Do you think so too?
