📣 Today, December 18, 2025, the official interest rate of the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is at 0.50%. The BOJ raised it to this level in January of this year and has kept it stable since then. Right now, the bank is in the middle of a monetary policy meeting (which started yesterday and ends tomorrow, the 19th). All analysts, economists, and reliable sources (Reuters, Bloomberg, Nippon.com, etc.) expect that tomorrow they will announce an increase of 0.25 points, bringing it to 0.75%, which would be the highest level in 30 years.

$PEPE this project was the biggest robbery in history it is in decline and I don't see any way for it to be reborn, many had hopes in it but it is reduced to ashes, enough of believing in false promises
how sad it is to see my money melting away like this, it was the worst investment I made in my life, and the saddest thing is to realize that it is all just manipulation by the big whales, we who are small fish will never excel in this game, I give up 😔😔😔😔😔😔
Im really disappointed bkz i lose everything😭😭 lost $5.3M on the fccking $PIPPIN scam coin.😭 I don’t know how to recover from this.please help😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This is a currency that you will never lose. (And which the whales do not want you to discover.) Try buying $USDC for $USDT or the reverse. You will never lose it, buy any amount and wait for its fruits to come to you. The more the amount, the greater the profit.
Community, it is time to make a decision: Die like the musicians of the Titanic or save some money.. it seems like this can't go on any longer.. $WLD irreversible collapse... #worldcoinbye do you have any patience left with this project? I read you....

$BTC The precious son is settled 😂😂 He made 10 successful deals in a row And earned about 124 million dollars 💰 In one deal he decided to go all-in with everything he had And the result? He was completely settled and lost 58 million dollars.
Leverage in crypto has no safety… One wrong deal can wipe out months of work 🤯 {future}(BTCUSDT)

$XRP XRP hasn’t moved anywhere since 2012. For 13 years, nothing real happened. It’s a liar coin. People who hold XRP are like prisoners in a cage, waiting year after year. Every single day they say, “big partnerships, big business is coming”, but in reality it’s nothing. Price goes up a little, then always goes back to its same place. The previous CEO and the people running it damaged everyone who held XRP for 13 years. If this was a meme coin for 13 years, it would have already exploded. Talking about ETF approval or “working with banks” doesn’t mean anything if the price and reality don’t change. At least meme coins are honest — you can see pumps, you can see movem

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Japan’s central bank, the Bank of Japan, has confirmed that it will raise interest rates by 75 basis points in just 3 days. This is a big and rare move for Japan, showing that inflation pressure is getting serious and easy money is slowly ending. Markets are watching closely because this decision can shake global stocks, bonds, forex, and even crypto as money flows may change fast. $FORM $OM $ACE

Japan could shake the global market on 19 December 2025 📅
Guys I need just 2 minutes of your time, Listen carefully👇👇👇👇
Japan quietly supported global markets for many years… and now that support is vanashing.
Here’s what Japan was doing (in very simple words) 👇
1. For almost 30 years, Japan kept interest rates near zero.
2. That means borrowing Japanese yen was very cheap.
3. Big investors used this cheap yen like “fuel”:
Borrow yen cheaply
Convert it into dollars/other currencies
Buy stocks, bonds, and crypto This is called the yen carry trade.
Now what has changed? ⚠️ Japan is raising interest rates (highest expected in 31 years)
Why does this matter to crypto and global markets? Because when borrowing yen becomes expensive… the opposite happens 👇
1. Investors borrow less money
2. Many investors reduce risky positions
3. Some will sell assets (including crypto) to pay back yen loans
4. That means liquidity can leave the market And when liquidity leaves, markets feel pressure.
That’s why 19 December is important. If Japan hikes rates, we can see a strong move downward in crypto too.
We’ve seen this pattern before 📉
March 2024: Japan hike → BTC dropped about 23%
July 2024: Japan hike → BTC dropped about 26%
January 2025: Japan hike → BTC dropped about 31%
So my pandas , trade carefully 🙏 Volatility around 19 December can be huge. If the interest rates hike up and BTC is expected to dump to 70k
Also remember: PandaTraders warned about the last drop before hand We called the crash from 90K, and BTC dumped to 85K, hitting our targets ✅
As usual Panda Traders is monitoring the market 24/7 for you guys and maintains the legacy of informing you before every major crash and every big pump‼️ Once we get confirmation, we will look to short BTC on 19th december
Keep Following Panda Traders for daily BTC updates and crash alerts ✅ $BTC $SOL $XRP {future}(XRPUSDT)
Opportunity to buy more Bitcoin, or to look for another type of investment?

The price of bitcoin falls due to negative winds from Japan
📣 Historically, interest rate hikes in Japan have been detrimental to the price of bitcoin. Everything indicates that the Bank of Japan could increase its interest rate for the first time in 11 months.
✅ Investor and analyst Ted Pillows notes: “In the previous three occasions, each rate hike in Japan caused BTC to fall between 20% and 30%. The BoJ is expected to raise rates again on December 19. Will it be different this time?”
💰 This negative reaction of BTC is linked to the carry trade. If the higher returns offered by the Japanese central bank attract local investors again, the return of those capital flows could create pressure on financial assets in other parts of the world, also affecting cryptocurrency markets.
