#以太坊行情技术解读 The Bank of Japan's new round of rate hikes is imminent, but the crypto market has not follow-through with a correction. Instead, it continues its strong bull market—this stands in stark contrast to the single-week 20% decline triggered by rate hike expectations half a year ago.



The bull market remains stable thanks to three pillars: First, Japanese government bond yields have already priced in the rate hike expectations, and the ongoing upward curve over the past two months has been absorbed; second, the liquidity abundant environment brought about by the Federal Reserve's rate cut cycle continues, with institutional funds flowing into the crypto market for asset allocation; third, the correlation between crypto assets and traditional finance has significantly decreased, highlighting the self-driving power of this ecosystem.

Even if Japan's interest rates eventually rise to 1.25%, real interest rates will still be negative, which underscores the appeal of digital assets like $BTC and $ETH as "digital gold" for allocation. Short-term market volatility has instead sharpened participants' psychological expectations, and the crypto industry’s efforts to build financial infrastructure for the next decade provide the confidence for this bull cycle to continue strengthening.

From a technical perspective, Ethereum is currently in a good position, with short-term upside potential targeting gains of a hundred basis points. Those interested in participating should closely observe the movements of this asset.

The Bank of Japan's rate hike can't suppress this wave of market trends, indicating that market sentiment has indeed shifted. The previous 20% decline now looks like a buying opportunity, and the power of institutional entry is still strong.

Japanese rate hikes can't scare us off; this is the true resilience of a bull market.

I still remember the 20% drop six months ago. Now, it’s remarkable that it can withstand interest rate hike expectations. I have to say, institutions are indeed serious about portfolio allocation, and the self-driving force of this ecosystem has truly changed.

Institutional funds are truly flowing in continuously. It feels like this round is completely different from the previous one, and my mindset has become much more stable. ETH still has some short-term opportunities.

Japanese rate hikes can't hold it down anymore; this wave is indeed a bit different... Are institutions really bottom-fishing?

Even Japan's rate hikes can't move the crypto prices anymore. This is true decoupling... The 20% drop in the first half of the year now looks like a joke.

Here comes the same narrative of "digital gold" again. When it dropped 20% half a year ago, why didn't it seem so stable? Haha

Japan's rate hike this time didn't crash the market; institutions are really quietly accumulating positions, much more aggressively than half a year ago.

The Bank of Japan's recent rate hike really didn't hit us. The 20% drop half a year ago was truly shocking, but now it's steadily trending upward. This turnaround is quite remarkable.

The expectation of Japan's rate hike has long been priced in. The fact that this wave remains stable indeed indicates a change in market sentiment. The previous 20% plunge now looks like a side show; only when the ecosystem's self-driving force kicks in will it be truly meaningful.
