The news of the Bank of Japan's rate hike immediately caused turmoil in the cryptocurrency market. This wave of shock came quickly, and investors responded even faster.

Some are eager to liquidate their holdings. They are selling off various cryptocurrencies and turning to yen assets for stable income. This move is very rational, as risk-free returns suddenly become attractive. But others are not in such a rush; instead, they are observing. They know that after each major fluctuation, new opportunities always emerge—perhaps some coins are being unfairly punished, or a certain sector is experiencing a rebound.

The market swings between these two extremes. Expectations of rate hikes have changed the flow of funds, and global liquidity is facing re-pricing. What does this mean for the crypto market? In the short term, volatility will continue. But in the long term, no one can say for sure. As a major global economy, Japan's shift in monetary policy always causes ripples across major markets, and cryptocurrencies are no exception.

The key is how to find the rhythm amid this uncertainty.

Damn, they're at it again, Japanese people causing trouble, we're here to pay the bill. I'm really convinced by this round of liquidation. What's stable about Japanese yen interest collection... It will come back sooner or later. The observers are smart, just waiting to buy the dip. There will definitely be good coins crushed again. In the short term, chaos; in the long term? Ha, who can predict it accurately?

There are a bunch of panic sells, I'm still waiting for the bottom haha --- It's the same story again, as soon as the central bank makes a move, everything gets chaotic. Why haven't you learned to buy the dip yet? --- Japan raising interest rates? Wake up, this doesn't have much impact on our crypto market. Don't overthink it. --- To friends who have liquidated, keep going. We're waiting for you to come back to buy the dip. --- Volatility = Opportunity. Why is this simple logic still up for discussion? --- Laughing to death, another round of chopping the leeks (selling to retail investors), but I just won't sell. --- Long-term optimistic, short-term fluctuations are normal. Who hasn't experienced this?

Another wave of market manipulation to wipe out retail investors, those who clear their positions are probably going to get trapped again. The Bank of Japan's move has literally caused our coins to drop... Let's wait and see first. It’s always like this; the real buying opportunity comes just before big fluctuations. Risk-free returns sound appealing, but missing the rebound could lead to huge losses. If the rhythm isn't managed well, it might continue to fall in the short term. Basically, it's a reshuffling of liquidity, and retail investors are the ones getting hurt. I want to buy the dip, but I'm afraid the hole might get even deeper...
