Bitcoin Primed for Expansion Amid Japanese Yen Plummet
Money | June 28, 2024, 7:25 a.m.
Bitcoin has shown resilience and potential for growth as the weakening Japanese Yen hits historic lows against the U.S Dollar. The Yen's value has plummeted to its weakest level in nearly four decades, sparking speculation about government interventions. With the Federal Reserve maintaining high interest rates, the Yen is among the worst-performing currencies globally. This could lead to increased liquidity injections and currency devaluations, potentially benefiting Bitcoin. Founder of BitMEX, Arthur Hayes, believes a weakening Yen could trigger competitive actions among major economies like Japan and China, making Bitcoin an attractive hedge against fiat currency devaluation. Despite bearish signals, Bitcoin has reached $62K, with eyes on breaking through the $64K resistance level. If successful, this could mark a shift towards a bullish phase for the cryptocurrency in the face of global economic uncertainty.
