  On top of everything else, there are solid reasons to believe Japan might dump Bitcoin again this time around.
On December 19, the Bank of Japan is expected to hike rates by 25 bps - and let’s be clear, this would be the first rate hike in 10 years.

Worth remembering:
 Several previous BoJ rate hikes were followed by BTC dropping more than 20%. That’s not coincidence-level stuff.
So tread carefully. This market could get wild and messy, and mostly to the downside.
 Personally, I think the recent flush down to 85k is very much tied to this factor.
 That said, it’s not a carbon copy of past cycles. Institutional inflows via BTC ETFs could soften the blow this time compared to earlier rate-hike shocks.
