We must clarify the rumors about the relationship between Japan's interest rate hikes and the crypto market! Previously, some claimed that BTC monthly drops during Japan's rate hikes reached 20% - 30%, which is purely baseless. Japan's recent rate hikes occurred in March 2024, July 2024, January 2025, and December 2025. In reality, after the March 2024 rate hike, BTC dropped on the day but recovered the next day; after the July hike, affected by both the rate hike and the Israel-Gaza conflict, it declined for about 5 days with a drop of 18.45%, the maximum decline being 25.79%; the January 2025 hike also saw only a small decline. The S&P 500 was similarly negatively affected by Japan's rate hikes, but unlike BTC, it did not decline in advance. It is certain that Japan's rate hikes are bearish, but not to such an exaggerated extent. The decline in July 2024 was caused by multiple factors. Moreover, BTC is more sensitive than US stocks and has already declined in advance; it’s uncertain whether all impacts have been fully absorbed. Don’t be misled by false data-driven anxiety.
