🚨 #MACRO SHIFT — BOJ JUST SHOCKED THE MARKET 🇯🇵
Bank of 🇯🇵 Japan LEFT interest rates UNCHANGED
Everyone was positioned for a hike… and BOJ said NO.
So what really happened here? Let’s break it down properly 👇
🔍 Why the market expected a hike:
Inflation is running above 2%
Wages are finally improving
BOJ already exited negative rates earlier
➡️ Positioning leaned toward strong yen + risk-off
💥 Why BOJ DID NOT hike:
Inflation quality is still weak (mostly cost-push, not demand-driven)
Wage growth is NOT locked in long-term
Japan’s economy remains fragile
Financial stability risks > tightening too fast
BOJ chose stability over aggression.
⚡ Immediate reaction:
Yen weakened 📉
Japanese stocks pumped 📈
Global markets got a liquidity tailwind
🧠 The REAL takeaway (this matters):
Historically, BOJ staying dovish = bullish for risk assets
More liquidity
Less tightening pressure
Better environment for equities & crypto
Markets don’t move on expectations — they move on surprises.
And this was a BIG one.
Stay sharp.
Liquidity is still breathing… and risk assets feel it. 💰 $BTC
