The Federal Reserve's rate hike cycle has truly arrived. Japan's move caught the market off guard — the turning point of global liquidity might be just around the corner. I've been pondering a question: could the unwinding of this round of easing environment be the final catalyst for Bitcoin to break through $100,000?

It sounds contradictory, right? But looking back at history, whenever central banks' policies shift, capital tends to seek new safe-haven assets. Under the pressure of rate hikes, traditional financial yields rise, which indeed short-term can squeeze the valuation of risk assets. However, in the long run, diverging global inflation expectations and central bank policies might actually accelerate institutional allocation into digital assets.

The $100,000 threshold may be broken through amidst this macro and micro game of chess.

BTC-0.18%

ETH-0.15%

ZEC-1.98%

The Central Bank's recent actions are indeed aggressive; Japan has really made a big move. The interest rate hike will definitely hurt in the short term, but looking at the long term, this might actually be Favourable Information? Institutions should be ready to take action. The 100,000-dollar threshold feels like it’s right in front of us.

When Japan takes action, the whole world gets thrown into chaos. Could this be a signal to enter a position? The logic feels a bit convoluted, but history has indeed played out like this. If this wave really hits $100,000, I need to reassess my position allocation. Speaking of which, with the interest rate hike cycle here, what are Large Investors hoarding? Just looking at the Holdings dynamics doesn’t reveal much. With Central Banks fighting each other, us retail investors have to get ready to seize opportunities. $100,000 feels like it's just swaying there, but I'm still a bit hesitant.

Japan's recent actions are truly remarkable; the contraction of liquidity may actually be the trigger for Bitcoin to break 100,000? I believe in this logic. In this round of interest rate hikes, it will definitely be painful in the short term, but in the long run, institutions have long been accumulating holdings; if you don't believe it, just look at the large investors' holdings data. Central Bank differentiation + inflation expectations = new opportunities for digital assets; this game is more complex than imagined.

Japan's move causes global tremors, this rate hike cycle is really coming. But speaking of which, every time the central bank shifts, it's an opportunity to jump on board. That's how history has always played out. Ah, I feel that short-term rate hikes will definitely cause a sell-off, but in the long run, aren't institutions all bottom-fishing? The inflation monster isn't dead yet, and in the end, everyone will move into digital assets. Is $100,000 really that close? I find it hard to believe, but logically it makes sense. It all depends on who can hold out until that moment. In the short term, rate hikes are unpleasant, but the macro divergence is actually good news for us. Retail investors just need to wait for institutions to finish their布局. With the central bank's hand played out, I actually feel a bit hopeful. It seems like the market is about to be reshuffled.

Thinking about BTC breaking 100,000 as soon as the rate hike cycle begins? Bro, in the short term, you might indeed face some bullets, but the long-term logic is sound. The divergence in central bank policies does make it easier to attract institutional investors. ZEC, this old-timer, has also been showing some signs of movement recently, which is quite interesting.

The central bank's recent moves are indeed a bit extreme. Once Japan took action, the whole world had to tremble a little. I don't quite understand. The rate hike came and instead catalyzed BTC to break ten thousand? So why is it still falling in the short term? The logic is a bit tangled. History repeating itself is nothing new—liquidity contraction inevitably causes some to buy gold or cryptocurrencies. In the long run, it still depends on which policies are more aggressive. The ten thousand mark doesn't seem that magical anymore. It all depends on whether institutions are really putting real money into the market recently.

Japan's move this time is really aggressive. The liquidity turning point is right here, and it feels like reaching 100,000 is just a matter of time.

The Bank of Japan's recent move is really a bit extreme; liquidity tightening might actually be an accelerator for BTC? It sounds absurd but logically consistent, just worried it might be another scheme of the scythe harvesting the leeks. --- Is $100,000 really that close? It feels like I hear people mention this number every time, but maybe we should wait until it breaks before talking. --- Diverging central bank policies are prompting institutions to deploy in digital assets... I’ve heard this phrase many times in the past two years. How many institutions are actually acting now? --- Short-term squeeze, long-term benefits—this kind of rhetoric is too familiar. The key still depends on how the coin prices move. --- Why are ZEC, BTC, and ETH being mixed together? Is this implying something? --- The rate hike cycle is here, and instead of buying the dip, I don’t have the guts for that. Or should I just keep observing?

Japan's move this time is really brilliant. As global central banks begin to tighten, there will be short-term pain, but in the long run, digital assets are the true safe haven. It feels like history is repeating itself. Every policy turning point sees capital flowing into non-traditional assets. $100,000 may really be within reach. Risk assets are being hammered down during the rate hike cycle, but institutions are frantically accumulating BTC. I understand this logic. The divergence in central bank policies is actually good news for our crypto circle—hold your positions tightly. Speaking of Japan's bold move, the global liquidity landscape is about to be reshuffled. Bitcoin is about to take off. The turning point from easing to tightening has historically been when large funds switch positions. Get ready. After Japan's rate hike, the global financial landscape has changed. $100,000 BTC is no longer a dream. This policy shift may be tough in the short term, but in the long run, institutions are definitely quietly building positions. Let's wait and see.
