According to Odaily, Yi Lihua has expressed that Japan's recent interest rate hike marks the last significant downturn. The fluctuations observed in recent days are primarily driven by contracts, with short positions making their final efforts. However, these are considered short-term actions in the face of a future bull market trend. For investors, rather than traders, the current period remains an optimal spot investment opportunity. Next year is expected to bring substantial benefits to the crypto industry, particularly in terms of crypto policies, interest rate cuts, liquidity easing, and financial blockchain integration. To achieve substantial returns, investors must endure market volatility, overcoming human weaknesses to succeed in the financial market.

Yi Lihua stated in an article that the Japanese interest rate hike represents the final major negative factor being fully priced in. The recent volatility is primarily driven by contracts, especially with short sellers making a final push. However, given the future bullish trend, these are all short-term behaviors. For investment rather than trading, now remains the best time for spot investment. Next year will be a major boon for the crypto industry, especially with the three decisive factors: crypto policies, interest rate cuts, quantitative easing, and the move to blockchain finance. If you want to earn thousands of dollars in returns, you must endure hundreds of dollars in volatility. Winners in the financial markets must first overcome human weaknesses.

Krishna Bhimavarapu, an economist at State Street Investment Management for the Asia-Pacific region, said that the convergence of interest rates between the US and Japan may accelerate after the Bank of Japan raised its overnight call rate to 0.75%, the highest level in 30 years.
