If you're still ignoring the yen carry trade while trading $BTC, stop now.
This is how traders get caught buying “cheap” dips that keep dipping. The chart may look crypto-native, but the pressure right now is coming straight from macro.
Bitcoin is hovering near $62,500, roughly 50% below its October 2025 peak of $126,198. The big catalyst? Japan’s aggressive defense of the yen, including the first joint Tokyo-Washington intervention since 1998, with $59B deployed and $32B dumped in just one week.
The bullish side says this is temporary: once the intervention shock fades, liquidity could rotate back into risk assets like $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL. I’m leaning the other way for now. If the yen carry trade keeps unwinding, forced de-risking can hit crypto fast, and a move toward $50,000 is not off the table.
Is this just another macro scare, or is Bitcoin’s next real liquidity test already here?
