💴 BOJ Hikes Rates — But the Yen Weakens
One of the most interesting parts of the BOJ decision is what happened after the rate increase.
The Bank of Japan raised rates by 25 basis points to 1.25%, yet the yen weakened against the dollar. Reports pointed to uncertainty over the pace of future tightening and the presence of two dissenting board members.
This shows why markets do not simply trade the headline.
Investors are constantly comparing the actual decision with what was already expected.
For crypto, that distinction matters. $BTC, $ETH and $XRP can respond not only to interest-rate decisions, but also to changes in liquidity expectations and global risk sentiment.
The BOJ has now moved rates to their highest level since 1995.
🔥 The next question for markets is not just “Did the BOJ raise rates?”
It is “What does the BOJ do next?”
