Just after the interest rate hike, the market gave a slap👊

Can Bitcoin return to 67k?🤔

The Bank of Japan just announced a 25 basis point rate hike to 1%, the highest level in 31 years. The Nikkei 225 surged past 70,000 points

— but on the crypto side, $BTC ‌ dropped from over 67k back to around 66k, $ETH ‌ also retreated from around 1850.

Does this script look familiar?

Yesterday, the US and Iran signed an electronic agreement, the Dow Jones soared 702 points to a record high, BTC broke through 67,000, ETH hit over 1800. Overnight, sentiment reversed.

On the data front, it’s actually okay — BTC consolidated with lower volume between 65,500 and 66,500, ETH retreated but on-chain activity is rising. More like a “normal profit-taking after good news,” rather than a trend reversal.

The real highlight is the day after tomorrow — Waller’s first FOMC appearance.

The market expects a 98.5% probability of holding rates steady, but the real variables are the dot plot and Waller’s tone. These are the biggest uncertainties in the next 48 hours.

There’s also an interesting point — $SPCX ‌ rose over 20% in 24 hours, once breaking 220. This kind of divergence indicates funds aren’t fully retreating, just re-pricing.

The super week of central banks has just begun.

Japan’s move is already on the table, the Fed’s move is the main course. At 2 a.m. on June 18, what Waller says will be more important than today’s data.
