Bitcoin climbed above $77,400 following the Bank of Japan's decision to raise its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 1.25%, the highest in about 31 years. The yen weakened after the rate hike, which was approved by a 7-2 vote amid inflation concerns and progress toward the BOJ's 2% inflation target. Despite the rate increase, the yen's weakness and ongoing U.S. monetary policy, including Federal Reserve rate hikes, influenced Bitcoin's price movement.

The BOJ indicated further rate hikes could occur depending on economic and inflation data, while Bitcoin's short-term momentum showed signs of cooling near $77,600 resistance.
