🚨🇯🇵 JAPAN JUST DROPPED A MAJOR MACRO SIGNAL!
The Bank of Japan is reportedly set to hike its key interest rate by 0.25 percentage point at its September meeting, according to Kyodo News.
And crypto traders should NOT ignore this. 👀
Why?
💴 Higher Japanese rates can strengthen the yen
📉 A stronger yen can pressure the yen carry trade
💰 Carry-trade unwinding can pull liquidity from global risk assets
⚠️ Bitcoin and altcoins could see increased volatility
Japan has been one of the biggest sources of cheap liquidity for global markets.
If that liquidity starts reversing, BTC and altcoins could feel the impact fast.
🔥 The market is watching the yen.
🔥 The market is watching yields.
🔥 And the market is watching Bitcoin.
One BOJ decision could trigger a much bigger move across global markets. 👀📉📈
