The Bank of Japan has raised the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points as scheduled. The key in the next few hours is waiting for the official press conference—if no unexpected signals are released, the market should find a breathing space to continue its upward trend (of course, Friday's options expiration may still cause some turbulence).
From the current performance, $BTC is reacting strongly, directly reflecting the market's desire for policy clarity. Once the central bank's actions are confirmed without concern, capital flows tend to quickly shift direction—this is why paying attention to subsequent statements is so important. As long as no hawkish surprises occur, the bulls should have room to continue operating.

The Bank of Japan's move is still relatively stable; as long as there are no surprises, BTC can still push higher.
Let's wait for the press conference; these few hours are really crucial.
Friday options expiration is probably going to take a hit...
It's that old saying again: as long as they don't drop hawkish bombs, everything will be fine.

Laughing to death, the central bank raises interest rates by 25bp, but the crypto circle is as if injected with chicken blood. This is what I call "bad news is good news."
Wait until Friday's options expiration day for the real show; by then, the retail investors will be squeezed again.
No hawkish signals and still rising? I feel like we are waiting for a "stunning reversal" script.
BTC's strong reaction this time, frankly, means funds are betting that the central bank won't be too aggressive. Let's watch and see.
The biggest surprise would be no surprises at the press conference. Who can predict the dreamy collaboration in the crypto circle?
