Japan just spent a massive ¥15.4 trillion defending the yen, but the bigger story for crypto may be what happens if that defense starts to fade.
A stronger yen can pressure the yen-funded carry trade, forcing traders to unwind leveraged positions. And when liquidity gets pulled from risk assets, Bitcoin can feel it fast.
We saw how violent that can become in 2024.
So for $BTC , I’m not just watching the chart anymore. I am watching USD/JPY, liquidity and leverage too. A sudden yen move could create volatility even without any bad crypto news.
For now, I’d rather trade the reaction than predict it. Stay disciplined. 👀
