ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, the market expects the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates with a 90% probability at the meeting on January 24, and the yen has risen to its strongest level against the dollar in a month at 156. Japan's annual inflation rate is currently at a three-month high of 2.9%, and the central bank may raise rates from 0.25% to 0.45%.

The market is closely watching the inflation data release on January 23. If the inflation data exceeds expectations, it could trigger a new round of yen carry trade unwinding, reminiscent of last August when Bitcoin fell to $49,000. Notably, this decision will come after Trump's inauguration (January 20), and the two events may have a combined impact on the cryptocurrency market.
