Japan's central bank might pull the trigger on a rate increase come December.

If that happens, we're looking at a stronger yen pushing Japanese bond yields higher. But here's the kicker—this could drain liquidity from risk-on plays. Think BTC and broader crypto markets feeling the squeeze as capital rotates back to traditional safe havens. The correlation between yen strength and crypto selloffs isn't new, but timing matters. December's decision could set the tone for Q1 volatility across digital assets and equities alike.

BTC-0.93%

If the Bank of Japan really raises interest rates in December, and the yen strengthens, the crypto community might take another hit.

Same old trick again—BOJ raising interest rates is just setting a trap for the crypto market. With funds flowing into the bond market, who would still play with BTC?

The Bank of Japan is up to something again; when the yen strengthens, BTC has to kneel. This logic works every time...

Will the Central Bank raise interest rates in December? Another wave of yen strength is suppressing the rhythm of the crypto world... Funds are going to flow back to traditional safe havens, it's really annoying.

If the Bank of Japan really raises interest rates, the yen strength will again play people for suckers... BTC is likely to suffer.

If the yen is strong, then it's over, BTC is about to be manipulated again.

Is the Bank of Japan going to raise interest rates? Then the yen soars, and BTC gets suppressed again... It's always this cycle, funds run to safe havens, and our coins have to take a hit.
