BlockBeats News, February 25 — The Japanese government has nominated Asada Taito and Sato Ayano to serve on the Bank of Japan’s Monetary Policy Committee. This personnel change comes at a sensitive policy period and is seen as having a substantial impact on Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s future interest rate trajectory. Both nominees have a background in re-inflation, leading the market to interpret the move as a cautious approach to rate hikes, increasing policy uncertainty.
After the announcement, the USD/JPY briefly strengthened. Although the stance of the new committee members remains unclear, with some members stepping down, Takaichi still has room to influence policy direction. If the Bank of Japan delays rate hikes, the yen may remain weak, supporting the dollar; conversely, a rebound in the yen could trigger carry trade unwinding and amplify volatility.
In the crypto market, BTC rebounded above 66,000 after liquidating longs at 62,400, with around 56.5 million open short positions concentrated near 66,683. A round of long deleveraging has been completed, and the focus now shifts to whether further short squeeze occurs. If resistance is encountered, the price may fall back to 64,500–65,000 for rebalancing. Overall, the main trend remains leverage rebalancing, and the liquidity sweep pattern within the range has not changed.
