Bitcoin's Surge Following the Lackluster BOJ Rate Hike
Bank of Japan Rate Hike: The Bank of Japan raised its short-term policy rate to 0.75%, the highest in nearly 30 years, but the yen weakened against the dollar as the hike was already priced in, limiting fresh buying interest.
Carry Trade Stability: Despite concerns that higher Japanese rates could disrupt carry trades, the muted market response indicates that the yield gap between Japan and the U.S. remains intact, preserving the yen's role as a low-cost funding currency.
Bitcoin's Reaction: Bitcoin rose in value following the yen's decline, driven by broader global liquidity conditions and softer U.S. inflation data, rather than the BOJ's rate decision.
Market Outlook: With the BOJ's decision and cooling U.S. inflation easing uncertainty, Bitcoin's price action reflects a balance rather than a breakout, with potential for upward movement if dollar strength diminishes and real yields lower.
