The crypto market is hot again! 🔥 XRP stands out among the largest assets, having shown growth of more than 5% in the last 24 hours. 📈 Such a rise has become a real catalyst for activity in the market, despite the cautious behavior of Bitcoin and other coins. What is behind this success and how does the Japanese yen affect cryptocurrencies? Let's figure it out! 💡
XRP is making its holders happy, soaring 🚀 above rivals like BTC, ETH, and DOGE. Meanwhile, Bitcoin 📉 is showing a slight recovery, trading above $96,000 after a low of $93,500. And what about other assets? Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), and BNB are little changed, while Cardano (ADA) added +3.5% and Dogecoin (DOGE) lost 1.2%. 🤔
The strengthening of the Japanese yen, which broke through the key level of 150 to the dollar 💴, added additional intrigue to the market. The yen is known as a "safe haven currency" 🛡️, which investors turn to during periods of market stress. Expectations of a rate hike by the Bank of Japan (BOJ) in December strengthened its position 📊. This was caused by unexpectedly high inflation data from Tokyo, which came as a surprise to analysts.
Investors are reacting to these changes: carry trades are becoming less attractive 😬. In previous periods, when the yen strengthened, it already led to a decrease in interest in risky assets, including Bitcoin. For example, the rise in the yen previously caused AUD/JPY to fall by 8% and BTC to fall by $20,000. 😱
What does this mean for us? 🤓
The strengthening of the yen may trigger a new wave of corrections in the crypto market. 😅 However, XRP shows that even in such conditions, success is possible! 💪 If this trend continues, the token can become a growth engine 🚂, especially in Asia, where cryptocurrencies are extremely popular.
My forecast as a trader:
🔥 Volatility is our friend! I will catch short-term movements, especially against the background of unstable BTC.
💼 Altcoin bet: XRP, ADA and SOL look promising for short-term trading.
📉 Opportunities on the downside: If Bitcoin starts to correct, this could be a great entry point for long-term positions.
