The recent market has indeed been quite fierce. We need to pay attention to two key time points.

Today is the expiration date of the VIX index, which usually puts downward pressure on the Nasdaq and affects the overall market sentiment. Even more critical is Friday—when the Bank of Japan will announce its interest rate decision.

Speaking of which, actions like these by central banks have a significant impact on BTC. Historically, every time the Bank of Japan has taken similar measures, Bitcoin has experienced considerable shocks. Traders are aware of this, and such events tend to trigger market re-pricing, so they remember these two instances.

Because everyone is waiting for this shoe to drop, I think the current sell-off is actually a preemptive reaction. Once the dust settles and market sentiment digests the news, there could be a rebound. If the decline continues for another day or two, a different rhythm might emerge by 2026.

Here we go again, is it the Bank of Japan's turn to stir things up this time? It has always been like this before, after a fall it actually rises.

The Bank of Japan's move this time can really trap people, they always play like this every time.

The boots haven't even hit the ground yet, and they're already starting to dump in advance. I've seen this trick too many times. Over at the Bank of Japan, this time we really need to be careful. History always repeats itself in astonishing ways. But on the other hand, the harder the fall, the bigger the rebound space. It all depends on who can hold out until that moment.

The Bank of Japan's move might turn out to be a big trap again.
