🚨 UPDATE: Japan will hike rates TOMORROW, and it could CRASH Bitcoin…
Yesterday I warned you about it.
There’s a 99.82% chance of a rate hike.
Historically, Bitcoin has dumped by at least 20% after every rate hike.
But today, the real risk is clearer and it’s bigger than just bitcoin.
This isn’t even about a 0.25% move…
It’s about what breaks when Japan finally stops pretending rates don’t matter.
Here’s the part most people are missing:
For years, Japan has been the cheapest source of money in the world.
Funds borrowed yen at near-zero cost:
→ converted it to dollars → bought stocks, bonds, crypto, private credit, everything.
Basically, alot of people borrowed money from japan at 0% and bought BTC with it.
Now imagine what happens when they suddenly have to pay more interest to keep those investments.
Yeah, exactly…
Keep in mind that during the 2022 Fed hikes, bitcoin crashed by 67% in just a few months.
These selloffs happen fast, during illiquid hours and with no buyers underneath.
That’s why this matters for Bitcoin specifically:
– BTC trades 24/7 and it’s very liquid – When funds need cash now, they sell what’s liquid – Yen strength forces dollar assets lower – Risk gets dumped fast
This is why past BOJ moves didn’t cause slow pullbacks… but fast ones.
But you already saw the warning signs… did you?
– Price moves in a 5% range – Volatility spikes during Asia hours – Sudden selloffs with ZERO news
If the BOJ hikes and signals more to come, the message is simple:
Cheap global liquidity is OVER and alot of people will be forced to sell their assets.
That doesn’t mean bitcoin will crash to zero lol.
It’s more mature now than it was in 2022.
But it means the easy leverage phase is coming to an end.
Historically, this is how big resets start.
If you’re over leveraged, you need to rethink your strategy ASAP.
But if you’re patient, this is where opportunities usually begin.
I’m watching this closely and you should do the same.$BTC
$15B asset manager Bitwise says Bitcoin is done following the old 4-year cycle. ⏳ According to them, BTC could hit a brand-new all-time high in 2026 — and this time, the reasons feel different. Big money is already here. 🏦📊 ETFs are pulling steady demand, long-term holders aren’t selling, and Bitcoin is slowly being treated like a serious global asset, not just a halving trade. $BTC If this momentum continues, 2026 might shock the market — not with a crash, but with a breakout. 💥🚀
