🚨 Why the market is bleeding 🔻
• Japan may raise interest rates (Dec 18–19)
• This spiked Japanese bond yields
• Higher yields = less money in risk assets
• Result: Stocks, $BTC and altcoins are dumping
🇯🇵 Why it matters:
Japan has been a major source of cheap liquidity for decades.
If the BOJ tightens → carry trades unwind → global liquidity dries up → fast market drops.
Extra pressure this week:
• Dec 19 options expiry (stocks & ETFs worth trillions)
• This often triggers short-term selling
What to expect:
• If BOJ hikes → flash crash, then possible bounce
• If no hike → relief rally into month-end
This is the setup. Stay sharp.
