If you're still ignoring the yen carry trade, stop now.
A lot of traders are treating this $BTC pullback like a normal dip, but macro shocks are exactly where late entries and stubborn holds get punished. The worst part is not knowing whether you’re buying fear or catching a falling knife.
Bitcoin is hovering around $62,500, nearly 50% below its October 2025 peak of $126,198, and the pressure isn’t just coming from crypto sellers. Japan and the U.S. reportedly launched their first joint yen intervention since 1998, with $59B deployed and $32B dumped in just one week to unwind carry-trade stress.
The bullish side says this is forced macro selling, not a broken Bitcoin thesis. If liquidity stabilizes, $BTC and majors like $ETH could rebound fast. But I lean cautious here: when central banks are actively defending currencies, risk assets usually don’t get a clean ride. A move toward $50,000 is not crazy if leverage keeps unwinding.
Is this the final shakeout before recovery, or is $50K the level the market still needs to test?
