Bank of Japan Policy Decision: Global Market Impact AnalysisBank of Japan Interest Rate Decision (December 19) Introduction : Why Japan’s Interest Rate Policy Matters Japan’s monetary policy plays a critical role in the global financial system. For decades, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) maintained ultra-loose conditions, turning the Japanese yen into the world’s primary funding currency. Global investors borrow cheaply in JPY and deploy capital into higher-yielding assets such as equities, bonds, and cryptocurrencies. Because of this structure, even a small shift in BoJ policy can trigger large cross-market reactions. The BoJ’s interest rate decision on December 19 is therefore a high-impact macro event with potential consequences for forex, global equities, bonds, gold, and crypto markets. Scenario 1: If the Bank of Japan Raises Interest Rates A rate hike would represent a historic policy shift and signal the early stages of monetary normalization. Impact on Forex (USD/JPY & JPY Pairs) * The Japanese yen (JPY) is likely to strengthen due to improved yield appeal * USD/JPY may face strong bearish pressure * Carry trades funded in JPY could unwind rapidly, increasing volatility JPY crosses such as EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, and AUD/JPY may also decline as risk exposure is reduced. Impact on Global Equity Markets * Japanese equities: Mixed to bearish bias due to a stronger yen hurting exporters * Asian markets: Short-term weakness as financial conditions tighten * US & European equities: Increased volatility and pressure on growth stocks Overall, a rate hike may trigger a short-term global risk-off reaction driven by liquidity repricing rather than economic deterioration. Impact on Crypto Markets (Bitcoin & Altcoins) * Bitcoin: Short-term bearish pressure and higher volatility * Altcoins: Likely underperformance due to higher risk sensitivity * Macro-driven selling could create longer-term accumulation zones once volatility settles Impact on Bonds, Gold & Risk Sentiment * Bonds: Japanese and global yields may rise * Gold: Short-term pressure from higher yields, medium-term support if risk aversion increases * Risk sentiment: Shift toward defensive positioning and reduced leverage Scenario 2: If the Bank of Japan Does NOT Raise Interest Rates If rates remain unchanged, markets may view the decision as continued policy caution. Expected Market Reactions * JPY: Continued weakness * USD/JPY: Bullish continuation * Global equities & crypto: Supported by ongoing liquidity * Risk sentiment: Risk-on behaviour likely to persist Short-Term vs Medium-Term Outlook Short-Term * Rate hike: Sharp volatility, risk-off moves * No hike: Relief rally in risk assets Medium-Term * Gradual tightening allows controlled market adjustment * Continued loose policy supports assets but increases structural risks over time Markets typically shift from news reaction to trend confirmation within weeks. Educational Entry–Exit Examples (Not Financial Advice) USD/JPY (Rate Hike): * Bias: Bearish * Concept: Breakdown → pullback → continuation * Invalidation: Above recent swing high Bitcoin (No Hike): * Bias: Bullish * Concept: Pullback after impulse * Risk Note: Reduced size during news volatility US Indices: * Rate hike: Sell rallies near resistance * No hike: Buy dips in confirmed trend Conclusion: Key Takeaways for Traders The Bank of Japan’s December 19 interest rate decision is a major global liquidity event. A rate hike would favour the yen while pressuring risk assets, whereas a no-change policy would support equities, cryptocurrencies, and carry trades. Traders should prioritise volatility management, confirmation from price action, and cross-market correlations over predictions and forecasts. Stay tuned! @Money_Dictators Thank you :)

BTCUSD: Holding Wave X or Slipping Lower?24 Nov 2025 27 Nov 2025 1 Dec 2025 17 Dec 2025 Bitcoin is still trading inside a falling channel, and the overall structure remains corrective. The recent bounce from lower levels lacks momentum and is overlapping, which signals consolidation rather than a trend reversal. Price continues to respect channel resistance, keeping the broader bias weak. Wave X is acting as an important support zone around 83,822 , and as long as price holds above this level, further consolidation remains possible. This area is currently absorbing selling pressure and preventing immediate continuation to the downside. However, a decisive breakdown below Wave X would signal that the correction is not complete. In that scenario, downside momentum is likely to expand, opening the path toward the 79,650 - 75,655 zone. Stay Tuned @Money_Dictators RD :)

Bitcoin Toying With Emotions, Manipulation?Bitcoin appears set to play with the minds of longs and shorts. 21 November appears to have been a cycle low, price recovered the dotted green line a signal to longs, then we got a backtest which was a higher low. Bulls would love this kind of setup and might be accumulating. This setup though is dangerous, a break below the dotted green line will see many longs trapped & create a selling frenzy. Bitcoin seems to be manipulated both ways. I am watching for a break below, Bitcoin miners will be good to buy cheaper if this plays out. Perhaps the coming of ETFs has put Bitcoin in the position gold found itself, being toyed with much to exasperation of bugs.

BTC/USD pair reversal from the fear value gap.BTCUSD (Bitcoin / U.S. Dollar) – 30 Min. Price recently swept liquidity near the support zone and reacted strongly, indicating buyer interest at lower levels. The move created a bullish displacement, leaving behind a Fair Value Gap (FVG) that now acts as a key support area. Market structure shows a shift to short-term bullish (CHOCH) after the strong impulsive candle. The marked reversal area is valid as long as price holds above the FVG and higher lows are maintained. Upside potential is toward the major resistance zone near the previous strong high, where sell-side pressure is expected. A rejection from resistance could lead to another pullback into the FVG for continuation. Bias: Bullish above the FVG, targeting the resistance / buy-side liquidity. Invalidation if price breaks below the FVG and support zone. This setup favours buy-on-dips until resistance is reached.

Elise | BTCUSD | 30M – Range Expansion SetupBITSTAMP:BTCUSD After rejecting from the 93,500 resistance area, BTCUSD experienced a strong impulsive drop, sweeping sell-side liquidity before stabilizing at a key support level. The current structure shows consolidation above support, suggesting short-term accumulation. Buyers are active, but price still trades below major resistance, meaning confirmation is required. This is a reaction-based trade, not a trend trade. Key Scenarios ✅ Bullish Case 🚀 Condition: Hold above 86,200–85,100 🎯 Target 1: 88,800 🎯 Target 2: 90,000 🎯 Target 3: 92,000–93,500 resistance zone ❌ Bearish Case 📉 Condition: Breakdown & close below 85,000 🎯 Downside Target 1: 83,800 🎯 Downside Target 2: 82,000 Current Levels to Watch Resistance 🔴: 90,000 – 93,500 Support 🟢: 86,200 – 85,100 ⚠️ Disclaimer: This analysis is for educational purposes only.

BTCUSD|Bearish Below 88K as CPI and Quantum Talk Shape SentimentBTCUSD | Short Technical Overview Bitcoin is trading around the 88,000 pivot line, showing continued weakness below the major resistance zone at 95,449–100,873. The structure remains bearish as long as price stays under this pivot, with a potential move toward 84,000 and then the deeper 76,600 support zone highlighted on your chart. Today’s U.S. CPI will be a major volatility driver. A higher-than-expected CPI reading would strengthen the USD and typically pressure Bitcoin downward, supporting the bearish structure already visible on the chart. Beyond short-term volatility, a new narrative is emerging: a growing group of Bitcoin advocates and crypto fund managers is pushing for faster adoption of quantum-resistant signatures. They warn that even the perception of a future quantum threat could create market risk long before quantum attacks become technologically feasible. This could influence long-term sentiment and development priorities across the ecosystem. Key Levels: Pivot: 88,000 Resistance: 95,449 → 100,873 Support: 84,000 → 76,600 Bias: Bearish below pivot; CPI adds downside risk.

Bitcoin - Dawn of the Dark with some LightI posted a similiar chart as private idea some days ago. () This idea here is an updated slightly adjusted version. If i look at the big rise from 2017/2018 and our current swing i see certain similarities. 1. We created a top. 2. Downtrend and retest of the 50% of the swing. 3. Uptrend from the 50% and creating a swing high that takes out the big upper resistance 4. Again going towards 50% but this time no big buying showing up. 5. Fall under the 50% and heading towards the 23% - this is where we are now in the current swing If both swings move similiar we should see the following happening now: 1. Move to the 23% level. 2. Buyers show up push price again towards the 50% level - but no clean retake 3. Price falling down again to the 23.60 Additional: In Both times we had Engulfs or SFPs of the High. Problems with this analysis: We cant deny that the retest of the 50% level on the second swing generated a Higher High (red line) - however its a weak Higher High as it barely went above the recent swinghigh. Besides the similiarities with the shakeout and retest of 2017. I classified it even as divergence or engulf in my recent analysis.

Bitcoin Price Correction: Heading Toward $70,000As of December 17, 2025, Bitcoin is trading around $87,000–$88,000, down from its all-time high of over $126,000 earlier this year. Recent market volatility, driven by macroeconomic factors like potential Bank of Japan rate hikes and profit-taking after the post-election rally, has analysts warning of further downside. Many technical indicators point to a potential retest of the $70,000–$75,000 support zone. This level has historically acted as strong demand in previous corrections and aligns with key moving averages and Elliott Wave projections from experts. A drop to $70,000 would represent a roughly 20% decline from current prices, which is common in Bitcoin's cyclical patterns during consolidation phases. While long-term bullish factors remain (institutional adoption, ETF inflows, and scarcity post-halving), short-term bearish pressure could push BTC lower before any rebound. Traders should watch $84,000 as immediate support—if it breaks, $70,000 becomes the next major target. This is not financial advice; cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile.

BTCUSD | Yearly Close....What do you call this candle?Hello traders, BTC is about to close its yearly candle in 12 days and its printing this candle. It looks to me like a perfect bearish pin bar on its own and a bearish harami by chart structure. I'm not a huge fan of candlestick patterns tbh, I don't trade them. Some do, I don't. But when you see this one on a yearly close, you simply can't ignore it. Let me know what you think down below If you like what I share, Please support me with a like

BTCUSD: Anticipating a Strategic Sell OpportunityRecent economic indicators present a challenging landscape for risk assets, with disappointing U.S. employment figures underscoring labor market fragility and cooling inflationary pressures signaling a potential shift in monetary policy expectations. Major U.S. equity indices, such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average (US30) and Nasdaq-100 (NDX), are exhibiting technical patterns suggestive of near-term exhaustion, hinting at a broader market correction. Against this backdrop, Bitcoin (BTC/USD) appears poised for a period of weakness. From a technical perspective, BTC/USD is approaching a critical juncture. The pair is testing a key ascending resistance trendline (highlighted in orange), which has historically acted as a formidable barrier. A retracement toward this dynamic resistance zone is anticipated, presenting a high-probability selling opportunity. Given that this setup does not align with a classic A-Book liquidity profile, trading volumes may remain subdued, suggesting a less aggressive approach to position sizing. Traders are advised to monitor price action closely for confirmation of a pullback, with a focus on confluence between the ascending resistance and other technical indicators, such as momentum divergences or elevated selling pressure, to optimize entry timing. Risk management remains paramount in navigating this potentially volatile environment.

Bitcoin (BTCUSD) — Base Forming Ahead of a Bullish BreakoutBitcoin is approaching a critical moment . After a prolonged decline downside momentum has clearly slowed and price is beginning to stabilize , which is a common sign that selling pressure is being gradually absorbed . On the macro side market sentiment has improved slightly as investors grow more comfortable with expectations of easier financial conditions ahead , giving risk assets some room to recover. On the H1 chart , the technical picture is turning constructive . BTC is forming a double bottom within a descending structure , showing strong buyer participation around the same support zone . At the same time price is pressing against the descending trendline , suggesting that seller control is weakening . This combination typically appears near transition phases rather than during strong bearish continuation. The key now is confirmation . A clean breakout and close above the descending trendline would activate the double bottom target near 90000 , signaling a shift from corrective price action into a new bullish phase . Until that breakout occurs patience remains essential , but the technical risk to reward is starting to favor the upside .
