đš Market Update: Bitcoin Reacts to BOJ Shock đš
Bitcoin dipped after the Bank of Japan delivered a surprise 75 bps rate hike â its largest increase in over 30 years. Historically, BOJ tightening has been a major bearish catalyst for crypto, and early signals suggest history may be repeating.
đ Why This Matters:
âą Past BOJ rate hikes have often preceded double-digit BTC drawdowns
âą Higher rates push global investors to cut risk
âą BTC positions are usually among the first to be unwound
đ Smart Money Moved First:
Ahead of the announcement, analysts flagged a notable sell-off led by large holders.
âĄïž Around 24,000 BTC were offloaded
âĄïž Over $2B in selling pressure hit the market
â ïž Short-term sentiment: Fear and volatility rising as macro pressure builds.
