JAPAN DECIDES RATES TODAY. AND CRYPTO COULD FEEL IT HARD. 🚨

Three central banks in four days:

✅ Fed hiked rates 12-0 on Wednesday
✅ Bank of England decided yesterday
🔜 Bank of Japan announces TODAY — midday Tokyo time

For beginners — why does JAPAN matter to YOUR crypto?

Japan has the world's most popular carry
trade.

Here's how it works in simple terms:

→ Investors borrow money cheaply in Japan at 0.75% rates
→ They invest that borrowed money into risky assets like Bitcoin and US stocks
→ If Japan raises rates — that borrowing gets expensive
→ Investors are FORCED to sell their risky assets to repay the loans
→ Bitcoin drops — not because of anything crypto did — but because of Japan

This happened in August 2024 and Bitcoin dropped 20% in 48 hours.

What to expect today:

🟡 BOJ holds rates at 0.75% — most likely. Small relief for crypto.
🔴 BOJ hikes to 1% — carry trade unwinds. Crypto drops hard.

We already took two punches this week — CLARITY Act blocked and Fed hiked. A BOJ hike today would be the third punch in four days.

Bitcoin sitting at $74,800 right now. Nervous and waiting.

Are you positioned for a third punch or do you think Japan holds? 👇
