BTC broke the 83000 barrier this morning. Many people say it's a technical pullback, but I'm more concerned about another number: the market is betting with 80% certainty that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates this month.
What does this mean? In the past few years, the global ¥19 trillion scale of yen carry trade—borrowing cheap yen to buy US stocks and cryptocurrencies—may be facing an epic reversal. Money will flow back to Japan. Do you remember the bloody storm on Christmas 2022?
The performance of ETH is even more distressing. The new narrative hasn't gained momentum yet, and the price has already taken a beating. However, upon calm reflection, it's not necessarily the retail investors who are the most anxious, but rather the platforms that urgently need trading volume to support their valuations.
But the market has never been linear. Changes in personnel at the Federal Reserve may occur, interest rate cut expectations are soaring, and the turning point for liquidity may be closer than imagined. History has repeatedly proven: bull markets often arise amidst cries of despair.
The key is, do you dare to build a position at this level now? Don't rush in when everyone is bullish, and don't completely lay flat when panic spreads. The market has reached a crossroads.

The Bank of Japan really has us in suspense this time, with an 80% chance of a rate hike... It reminds me of last year's scene where carry trades got liquidated, which is a bit chilling.
Why is ETH still looking sluggish? The narrative hasn't even taken off before the price drops; it's like doing charity for the platform.
It is indeed a crossroads, but I bet there will be variables from the Fed's side, and the liquidity rebound might happen faster than expected. History loves to reverse like this.
Is it time to build a position now? I'm observing, not in a hurry, waiting for another round of long killing short or short killing long before deciding.

ngl the yen carry trade unwind is the real story here, not just the 83k bounce. let me be straight with you—most people only see price action, they miss the macro currents underneath.

If the Bank of Japan really raises interest rates, that day when the trap interest explodes will be quite miserable... The lessons from 79 years ago are still fresh in our minds.

If the Bank of Japan really raises interest rates, the carry trade will definitely explode, right? The bloodbath in 2022 was truly nightmarish.
But to be honest, building a position is really tough right now. In my opinion, we should wait and see when liquidity truly turns.

If the Japanese yen trap explodes, 19 trillion will flow back... are we really ready?

If Japan really implements the interest rate hike, the 19 trillion trap interest rate reversal operation might just be the prologue to last year's bloody storm.

The yen carry trade has reversed, and even shovels need to be dug out. Is this time really different?
