#数字货币市场洞察 Is the Bank of Japan likely to raise rates in December? Honestly, this move has long been expected.



When liquidity tightens at the macro level, the crypto space is always the first to take a hit. What does accelerated yen repatriation mean? Short-term liquidity gets drained instantly, and any volatility in the USD/JPY rate will spook those high-leverage players.

But after digging into on-chain activity overnight, I found a few interesting details:
- Large stablecoin transfers on-chain haven’t shrunk—in fact, a few whale addresses are quietly placing buy orders at lower levels;
- The trend of BTC and ETH flowing out of exchanges continues, with tokens quietly accumulating in strong hands;
- The fear sentiment index has ticked up slightly, which is often when seasoned players are waiting for a pullback to enter.

My personal view is pretty straightforward:
Within the next month: If a yen rate hike really happens and US Treasury market volatility continues, the market will likely use this as an excuse for a shakeout, and BTC will probably retest lower support levels.

Looking three months out: On-chain metrics like active address count and stablecoin issuance haven’t deteriorated, so the fundamentals are actually improving. If prices drop, it’s actually an entry window.

Those who truly understand trading respect macro shocks but also trust that on-chain data doesn’t lie. What the market lacks isn’t so-called “good news”—it’s the patience to endure.

Bull markets always sprout amid doubt and climb amid debate. If you believe in the cyclical nature of markets, hold onto your tokens and don’t let short-term noise shake you out. My strategy remains clear: buy more on dips, hold on rallies. Time will tell who’s swimming naked and who’s raising big fish in deep waters. $ETH
BTC-2.46%
ETH-3.92%

Whales placing buy orders at low levels is definitely a signal, I’ve noticed it too. Now it’s just a matter of who can hold out longer. A rate hike crash is definitely inevitable this time, but on-chain data doesn’t lie—the accumulation of chips is just building up energy for the next wave. Patience is easier said than done. Most people simply can’t hold on. Wait, this fear index rebound you mentioned—I didn’t see it that clearly. What’s your source? The tactic of buying more on dips sounds simple, but when it’s time to pull the trigger, your hand still shakes.

I also saw the whale placing buy orders at the bottom; that's a real sign of putting money where your mouth is. --- The Bank of Japan should have made this move a long time ago. Now, is it actually a good time to buy the dip? --- It's normal for a rate hike to trigger a shakeout; the key is who can hold on until spring. --- On-chain data tells the real story. Those calling for a dump are just the ones who got shaken out. --- High-leverage players are definitely crying now, while stablecoin holders like us are reaping the benefits. --- Seriously, this is exactly the time to keep buying bit by bit. Don't panic. --- Instead of waiting for some positive news, it's better to wait for the price to really drop—then the opportunity comes. --- Chip accumulation is good, but it also depends on how long it lasts. I'll wait a bit longer. --- Those who understand trading really need patience, but I admit I don't have that much self-control. --- A bull market is born amid doubt. I've heard that a hundred times, haha. --- The yen rate hike is pretty fierce, but as long as on-chain activity hasn't dropped, I'm still willing to add more. --- The real worry is if the rate hike actually breaks the support level—then it's more than just a shakeout.

On-chain data indeed doesn't lie, but the problem is that most people can't really understand what the data is actually saying. Whale buying and retail stop-loss both appear as transfers on the surface; you need to analyze from the source code level to distinguish them. As for the yen rate hike, instead of guessing, it's better to watch how US Treasury yields move—that's the real indicator. What you mentioned about fundamental recovery is interesting, though; we need to find a few hardcore indicators to verify it, otherwise it's just a story.

Whales have already quietly bought in at low levels, while we're still hesitating about whether to cut our losses. Honestly, it's all about mindset. Really, Japan's rate hike is just an excuse. There's always a reason for a drop in the crypto market, but on-chain data never lies—that's all that matters. Even with prices dropping like this, some people are still adding to their positions. I respect you all for being so tough. Instead of studying potential positive news, you'd be better off working on your own mindset. Being able to tough it out is the real key. To be honest, people who cut their losses at times like this are basically just handing chips to the whales.

Whales are placing limit orders at the bottom, that detail is accurate—now it's just a matter of who can hold out longer. I've heard the logic of buying more on the dip too many times; the real question is whether you have enough capital. Old players have already been accumulating chips during the yen rate hike shakeout, while we're still here analyzing it in the group. On-chain data doesn't lie, that's true, but retail investors can't see it—they can only trust what they're told. It's easy to say "hold your chips and don't move," but if it really drops 30%, it's impossible not to feel the pain.

Whales quietly placing orders at low prices seems reliable, which means there are still people optimistic about the market. Wait, isn't this logic reversed? Drained liquidity is actually a signal to enter the market? That's what people say, but when the price really drops, it still depends on your mental preparation. It's easy to add to your position but hard to keep your composure. On-chain data doesn't lie, but what about exchange data? Only looking at half the picture can easily lead to mistakes. I've heard this argument too many times; in the end, it's always a test of the holder's patience over time.
