The market will be quite volatile in the next couple of days, with continuous news flow.
Specifically, tonight at 8:00 PM, the Bank of England will announce its interest rate decision. At the same time, there will be major moves on the US side—CPI year-over-year data will be released at 9:30, which usually influences market sentiment. Tomorrow morning at 7:30, Japan will release its November core CPI year-over-year, followed by the key event of the day—the Bank of Japan's target interest rate announcement.
Honestly, the rate hike by the Japanese yen is almost a certainty; the market has already had this expectation and has somewhat digested it. But when the moment of announcement arrives, whether it drops or not, it will still drop—just perhaps not by too much.
Looking at the recent candlestick charts, BTC has performed significantly better than altcoins, showing stronger resilience. However, once the Q1 market truly kicks off, those small coins that have been hammered down will also surge strongly. It all depends on your choices.

The Bank of Japan is probably going to cause trouble again; it's safer to hold onto BTC.

Damn, another barrage of data. My sleep time has to be compressed again these days.
This wave of BTC is indeed resilient, much more reliable than those trash coins.
Wait for Q1 to buy the dip on altcoins. Holding steady for now.

The Bank of Japan will still likely make a move about 80% of the time, but this wave of BTC is indeed resilient. Compared to the altcoins last year, it's much sturdier.

ngl the BoJ hike is already priced in, but watch the actual announcement moment—that's where the liquidity depth gets tested. btc's resilience vs alts just confirms capital's risk aversion; opportunity cost calculation working as designed. altseason will come tho, just patience on positioning.

Alright, it's another round of concentrated attacks by the central bank. Sleep will be lost from tonight to tomorrow again.
This wave of BTC truly resisted manipulation, while altcoins are still waiting at the floor price for a rebound.
The Japanese yen's rate hike has long been digested. When the official announcement comes out, it will just be a false alarm.
If Q1 starts to rise, small-cap coins will go crazy. It all depends on who dares to get on board.
