Fed rate cuts usually grab headlines, but history shows Japan often pulls the liquidity strings. Fed easing supports markets over time by loosening credit conditions. BOJ tightening, however, directly attacks leverage by raising funding costs. That’s why Bitcoin has historically reacted more sharply to Japanese policy shifts.

Despite this week’s hike, BTC has remained resilient—fueling speculation that dip buyers are stepping in early. But resilience at the top doesn’t mean safety across the board. If Japanese tightening continues, its influence on crypto liquidity may outweigh US easing in the near term.
