BANK OF JAPAN INTEREST RATE DECISION IS COMING TOMORROW.
The market expects 98.4% odds of a 25 bps rate hike.
Here’s what happened when BOJ raised rates in the past.
July 31, 2024:
BOJ raised rates to 0.25%
Bitcoin dropped 26% in 8 days
Jan 24, 2025:
BOJ raised rates to 0.50%
Bitcoin dropped 25% in 20 days
Now BOJ is expected to raise rates to 0.75%, the highest level since 1995.
Just like the past, markets could see some downside around the decision.
But if you look at the chart, every BOJ driven BTC dump was followed by a strong recovery and new ATH.
