The Bank of Japan announced on December 19th that the target interest rate would be adjusted to 0.75%, up 75 basis points from the previous 0.50%. This is the largest rate hike in history. Such a radical policy shift immediately impacted global financial markets, with the cryptocurrency sector bearing the brunt. The recent sharp decline is a direct reflection of this year-end level of negative news.

However, the market seems to be digesting this shock. The USD/JPY price curve has shown a significant rebound, indicating some upward momentum. But from a technical perspective, the key support level at 160 has not been effectively broken, and the bulls' defense remains relatively solid. In this stalemate, the future market trend depends on whether the market can fully absorb this negative impact—perhaps only after the negative news is fully priced in will a true rebound occur.

The Bank of Japan's recent move is really aggressive, directly hitting the pause button on the crypto world... However, if the 160 level can be held, it shows that there are still people buying the dip.

The Bank of Japan's recent move was too aggressive, delivering a heavy blow to crypto. They are firmly holding the 160 support level and not allowing it to break. Are they just waiting for the risk to fully unfold?

Oh no, here comes another dump. Can the 160 support hold... --- The Bank of Japan's move is really brilliant, directly confusing the crypto market. --- Wait, with such bad news, the rebound can only be a rebound. Don't expect a turnaround. --- It's not a stalemate, it's clearly the big players accumulating. --- Only after all the bad news is out can it rise? Then when will that be... --- The 160 level is indeed critical. If it breaks, we're really in danger. --- The US and Japan rallying is useless. If the overall environment is bad, everything is pointless. --- I just want to ask, who dares to buy in at this time? --- Take your time to digest, everyone. We have plenty of time anyway. --- Both technically solid and with strong resistance from the bulls, just hearing it is exhausting.

The Bank of Japan's move is quite aggressive, directly crushing our crypto market. As long as 160 isn't broken, there's still hope. Hang in there a bit longer. Waiting for the negative news to be fully digested is the real rebound; we still need to wait before bottoming out. This wave of decline has really messed me up; when will I be able to recover? The US-Japan yield curve has steepened quite a bit, but it still doesn't feel strong enough. Holding the key support level is a victory; as long as it doesn't break below, we're good. The biggest negative news of the year, I think we need to see how the market reacts before making any judgments.

The Bank of Japan's recent move is really aggressive, catching the crypto circle off guard. But this isn't the first time; every time we think the sky is falling, we end up pulling through. If 160 can hold, there's hope. It all depends on how things unfold next. This move might just be a shakeout of chips; once it hits bottom, it should reverse. By the way, are the negative news really all out? I still feel there are more tricks up their sleeve. The rebound is just around the corner. Don't believe it? Just watch.

The Bank of Japan's move is really ruthless, dropping 75 basis points in one shot, crypto took a direct hit Huh, 160 isn't broken yet, so the bulls are still struggling to hold on Only after all the bad news is out can it rebound? Brother, that’ll have to wait until the Year of the Monkey or the Horse Why are you still going off-topic here? We need to see if 160 can hold, if not, the dream is shattered This drop was outrageous, my positions have shrunk significantly, I should have reduced my holdings earlier By the way, this rebound is only so-so, it feels like there's still a shadow looming behind Wait, did 160 really break? I didn't see clearly Japan's move definitely disrupted the entire rhythm Digesting the bad news? It’ll take quite some time
