Japan Nears a 37-Year Rate Hike First: Will Bitcoin and Stocks Suffer?
Japan's producer prices jumped 7.1% in October, outpacing the expected 6.5%. This surge, driven by a weak yen that’s making imports pricier, raises the stakes for financial markets. With the Bank of Japan already hiking rates twice this year to 1.25%, a third hike in December would mark a significant shift, the first time since 1989. While many economists predict this move, uncertainty remains, especially with consumer spending still sluggish.
For US investors, this situation could spell trouble. The yen carry trade, where investors borrow cheap yen to invest in higher-yielding assets abroad, may lose its appeal if Japanese rates rise. A strengthening yen could force investors to liquidate positions in US stocks and Bitcoin to cover their yen loans. We’ve seen this play out before; a strong yen in August 2024 led to a global sell-off.
Additionally, if Japanese investors shift their focus back to domestic bonds for better returns, it could push US Treasury yields higher. While a December hike alone might not trigger a sell-off, the risk of a rapid series of hikes could lead to a sudden yen rebound, putting further pressure on risk assets.

Bitcoin Dominance Tests 61% Breakout, and That's Bad News for Altcoins
Bitcoin dominance is now at 60.98%, its highest since May 2026, and it’s testing a critical level around 61%. If it breaks above that, altcoins could face more struggles ahead. The technical indicators are shifting; for the first time since February 2025, the weekly Supertrend is bullish, and Bitcoin dominance has broken out of a triangle pattern. However, it’s also at the top of a rising channel, so a rejection here could bring it back down to around 60%, giving altcoins a brief respite.
Currently, the Altcoin Season Index is at just 39, meaning only about a third of the top 50 cryptos have outperformed Bitcoin over the last 90 days. To officially enter an altcoin season, that number needs to hit 75%. The 30-day index is even worse at 24, signaling a strong Bitcoin season.
So, while Bitcoin itself is down 2%, its dominance is rising, indicating that altcoins are taking even bigger hits. The next few days will be telling; if dominance holds above 61%, altcoins may continue to struggle. But if it dips below 60%, we might see a bit of recovery for them.
