Economist Sam Jochim of EFG Bank told MarsBit on December 19 that the Bank of Japan’s recent rate hike resembles easing off the accelerator, not hitting the brakes. He sees potential for more hikes in 2026, but stresses rates will stay low even after increases. The timing hinges on spring labor talks, making another hike unlikely before June 2026. Traders monitoring altcoins to watch may use on-chain analysis to gauge market sentiment shifts amid central bank inaction.
