On December 19, Chinese crypto analyst Banmuxia released a video noting the market has fully priced in Japan’s recent interest rate hike, while the future path of rate increases still requires further observation. Banmuxia again emphasized two key premises for his bullish stance on Bitcoin: **the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet expansion and Bitcoin’s technical structure being in a sideways consolidation phase**. Through technical analysis, he identified Bitcoin’s key resistance range as $98,600 to $107,000, with $112,500 acting as a strong resistance level—though he noted the market will likely face high complexity during this period.

December 19: Trader Eugene Ng Ah Sio shared an update on his personal channel, noting he successfully navigated the past month’s market volatility and that most altcoins have entered "Stage 5" (Regime 5—see the image below). He’s advising traders to start building a watchlist and place buy orders. However, mainstream coins remain in Stage 4, as their DAT collapse hasn’t fully materialized yet. For these assets, he urges a "ready to buy" mindset for market monitoring, rather than waiting to short into a rebound. Ng added, "This year’s been tough for most, but 2026 will be better for all of us."

On December 19th, Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda will hold a press conference at approximately 3:30 p.m. local time (2:30 p.m. Beijing time) to further detail the considerations behind the central bank’s latest decision and its future interest rate trajectory. Markets widely expect the BOJ to continue raising rates in small, predictable, data-dependent steps rather than opting for aggressive tightening. Additionally, following the rate hike announcement, the Japanese yen initially strengthened against the U.S. dollar before paring gains. It fell below the 156 level intraday, posting a 0.3% decline. Market reaction suggests investors have fully priced in the rate hike, confirming the BOJ’s assessment that the current adjustment does not significantly alter its accommodative stance—instead, it is part of a “gradual normalization” process.

On December 19th, per HTX market data, Bitcoin surged over 2.19% amid market concerns that the “shoe dropped” on a Japanese Yen interest rate hike, last trading at $87,489. Prior to this, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) raised its policy rate by 25 basis points as scheduled, noting it will continue to hike rates if economic and price conditions align with its forecasts and improve in line with economic and price trends.
