#数字货币市场洞察 I saw some explosive news today—the Bank of Japan may raise interest rates to 0.75%, which would be the first time since 1995! The yen immediately appreciated, and the entire market atmosphere changed.

To be honest, this has a significant impact on the crypto market. Many people don't realize that because the yen has had low interest rates for a long time, a lot of funds have been borrowing yen to buy Bitcoin and arbitrage. Now that the yen is appreciating, the cost of those leveraged crypto trades funded by yen is shooting up, so it's only a matter of time before those funds retreat. When liquidity tightens, assets like BTC are the first to take a hit. Those big players who use leverage will see their financing costs go up, so there will definitely be pressure to reduce positions, and short-term volatility is almost inevitable.

That said, a market correction isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Every shake-up is an opportunity to reposition. If you’re heavily invested, consider trimming your positions a bit—locking in some profit is never wrong; if you’re lightly invested, don’t rush to buy the dip, just wait and see where things go. In crypto, it’s not about acting on impulse, but about patience and discipline.

In short, the shoe has dropped on rate hikes, so let’s stay calm and respond flexibly. The more volatile the market, the more opportunities are hidden in the details.
