The Bank of Japan's last interest rate hike immediately boosted the Japanese yen exchange rate, followed by a rapid increase in overall market risk aversion. Looking back at that time, Bitcoin fell from $65,000 all the way down to $50,000, a significant drop. Now that the Bank of Japan is about to initiate a new round of rate hikes, investors are pondering—will there be another fierce shock this time? From past experience, yen appreciation often means funds shifting from risk assets to safe-haven assets. As a highly volatile asset, the crypto market is always the first to bear the brunt. How this will unfold this time remains to be closely watched, and market reactions are worth paying attention to.

The yen is appreciating again. Can BTC hold up this time? It feels like the same trick every time...

As the Japanese yen raises interest rates, our cryptocurrencies get hammered. The wave where it dropped from 65,000 to 50,000 still lingers vividly in my mind.

On-chain data shows that during the last wave of yen appreciation, there were indeed significant anomalies in large withdrawals... This time, I need to keep an eye on the timing of the contract deployment for the central bank's actions. Based on patterns, the flow of risk-hedging funds is still worth paying attention to.

Here we go again, the Bank of Japan is playing with the scalpel too skillfully, and the crypto world always ends up getting cut.

Another time? I've memorized this trick of the yen appreciating. How much longer can BTC hold up?
