Impact of Bank of Japan's (BOJ) Possible Rate Hike on BTC
- The BOJ is considering raising interest rates, possibly moving away from negative rates.
- A rate hike would strengthen the Japanese yen (JPY), leading to capital outflows from risk assets, including Bitcoin.
- If Japanese investors reduce their BTC holdings to reallocate funds into traditional markets, BTC could face selling pressure in the near term.
Conclusion
BTC is currently in a consolidation phase below the $85,000 resistance, with mixed signals in momentum indicators. A BOJ rate hike could bring additional downside risk if liquidity shifts away from Bitcoin. A decisive break above $85,500 could signal further upside, while a drop below $82,500 may lead to deeper corrections.
