- Crypto expert declares the price of BTC will crash on December 19.
- He says the Bank of Japan will cut rates, causing a ripple effect.
- The fact that BTC and sentiments are down will lead to a large price crash.
The price of Bitcoin (BTC), the pioneer crypto asset, fell to the $85,000 price range earlier this week. Since then, several bearish and bullish expectations have been circulating within the crypto community. This week was expected to be an action-packed week, with industry-related announcements that could shake the crypto market in unexpected ways. One crypto expert declares the price of BTC will crash on December 19.
Crypto Expert Declares Price of BTC Will Crash on December 19
Since the price of BTC went on to set its current ATH price in the $126,000 price range in October, bullish sentiments for the asset to surge and hit higher ATH prices in the months to follow were high. However, the weeks that followed instead saw the price of BTC slipping to lower and lower prices until the asset lost its 6-digit price value, leading to a prolonged correction phase and the end of most bullish expectations.
Then came the call that the crypto bear market had begun, leading to many analysts expecting the price of Bitcoin (BTC) to fall to even lower price ranges, which now lies between $50,000 – $60,000. At the moment, BTC has not fallen below $80,000, this fact keeps bullish sentiments alive. Many believe the 4-year bull cycle is over and that a 5-year supercycle may be playing out.
This outlook has led to bullish analysts expecting the correction phase to end. What’s more, the many bullish macro signals coming from various indicators are all pointing to new ATH prices for BTC, ETH, and altcoins in the coming months ahead, most likely the first quarter of the New Year. Despite these hopeful outlooks, others state a massive dip to come based on other indicators.
As we can see from the post above, this crypto expert predicts that the price of BTC will crash on December 19, 2025. The post begins by explaining that on December 19, the Bank of Japan is widely expected to raise interest rates again. While most expect this move to be just another central bank meeting, it is important to note that Japan holds over $1.1 trillion in U.S. Treasuries, making it America’s largest foreign creditor.
Bank of Japan to Crash BTC Price
When the Bank of Japan adjusts rates, it doesn’t just affect the Yen. It ripples through global dollar liquidity, Treasury yields, and risk assets like Bitcoin. The pattern is brutal and consistent: the March 2024 hike led to BTC price dropping by 23%, while the July 2024 hike led to BTC price dropping by 26%, and the January 2025 hike saw BTC price drop by 31%. Each time the Bank of Japan has tightened, we’ve seen violent deleveraging across crypto markets within days. Why does this happen?
When Japan raises rates, the Yen carry trade unwinds. For years, traders borrowed cheap Yen to buy higher-yielding assets (including crypto). Rate hikes reverse this flow instantly, forcing liquidations and margin calls across the board. Add to this the facts that Bitcoin is already down from recent highs, leverage in the system remains elevated, and retail sentiment has collapsed (on-chain metrics show capitulation).
The post concludes by stating that the current setup looks eerily similar to previous Bank of Japan-triggered drawdowns. Market positioning suggests most traders are either ignoring this catalyst entirely or hoping “this time is different”. History says otherwise. The Bank of Japan moves markets, and December 19 could be another huge liquidity event.
