#数字资产市场洞察 The Bank of Japan's rate hike finally lands, market reactions are out

$BTC $ETH $BNB

Looking at the Federal Reserve's policy direction, Japan's move indeed sends several signals. Once the rate hike cycle begins, it usually indicates subtle changes in the liquidity environment—which can trigger a chain reaction in the pricing logic of crypto assets.

Looking at recent data, the performance of mainstream cryptocurrencies seems to be redefining market expectations. Some say this marks the start of a major cycle, while others remain cautious. But regardless, policy certainty alone is enough to change market sentiment.

In the coming months, who will dominate—macro factors or on-chain data? That might be the question worth tracking next.

Is Japan raising interest rates again? It seems that this wave is mainly related to the Federal Reserve. Retail investors can just sit back and watch the show. The dust has settled, but the real test is still to come. We can't say for sure whether macroeconomic factors or on-chain data will win. Actually, I just want to ask, will liquidity really tighten this time? The signals before have been so many times and none of them were accurate. Oh wait, mainstream coins have been rising quite sharply these days. Is this market digesting positive news or is there another secret? Does policy certainty change market sentiment? I think it still depends on how retail investors handle it. Large funds have already moved out. Let's keep observing. Anyway, this wave isn't a big event; we've seen plenty of those.

The Bank of Japan's move causes a global tremor, where is the promised liquidity... It still seems like we have to look at the Federal Reserve's stance. --- The dust has settled, but the coins didn't fall; instead, they rose. Why does this pattern feel so familiar? --- It's another "big cycle starting point." How many times have I heard this... Anyway, I still have to hodl. --- Why can't macro fundamentals and on-chain data both win? Do we have to choose one? --- Starting an interest rate hike cycle = tightening liquidity = end of alt season? It's not that I want to overthink, but history tends to repeat itself. --- Are mainstream coins redefining expectations? It sounds like no one really knows where this is headed... That's just how the market is. --- Policy certainty changes market sentiment, and then sentiment changes policy expectations. When will this recursive cycle stop?

The Bank of Japan's move has thrown the entire market into chaos. To be honest, whether this wave of行情 can be fully caught depends on when the Federal Reserve will surrender.

The Japanese rate hike, I actually don't think it's that scary anymore. After all, liquidity drying up is not the first time it has happened. I'm tired of the narrative about the rate hike cycle; the key is still to see what the whales are accumulating. Mainstream coins have indeed shown some signs of a comeback in recent months, but I bet they will drop again. Who has the upper hand macroscopically? Honestly, the crypto market has never played by macro fundamentals; on-chain data is more valuable. The dust has settled, and I’ll just watch who is bottom-fishing in this wave—that's the real story.

The Bank of Japan's recent actions are indeed a bit harsh, it feels like the crypto world is about to be reshuffled again... Tightening liquidity is really the most annoying thing. --- The dust has settled, but I'm more concerned about whether there will be a double bottom afterward. Brothers who are all-in, this is a bit uncertain. --- Has the policy certainty changed the market sentiment? Come on, the market is so unpredictable, it might change again next month. --- So, are mainstream coins signaling a bullish trend this time or is this the last struggle before suppression... Can anyone explain? --- Is it true? Who will win between macro fundamentals and on-chain data? I bet macro fundamentals will bury us first. --- This is the toughest test of mentality. I'm really tired of the constant swings between good news and bad news. --- Starting an interest rate hike cycle = my assets shrink. This logic makes sense, right? Still waiting for a rebound to throw money in.

Bank of Japan raises interest rates? This is getting interesting. Liquidity tightening is really coming. Old Wang thinks that the macro situation hasn't been fully figured out yet; on-chain data is actually more honest.

Will Japan's rate hike really affect the crypto world... It feels like every time it's said, but in the end, it's still about watching the Fed's mood. Oh wait, if there's liquidity tightening, we should indeed be cautious. Is this another big cycle starting? I bet five bucks that no one will mention it next month. Policy certainty changes market sentiment, that's true, but who can predict the policy itself? That's laughable. On-chain data speaks for itself; macro factors can take a backseat for now, as I only look at the chain.
