🚨 JAPAN JUST STEPPED IN — AND THE MARKET IS NOT READY 🇯🇵💥

The Bank of Japan has begun currency intervention while USD/JPY hovers near 160 — a level we haven’t seen in 40 years.

This isn’t just a number on a chart.

For Japan, 160 is the pain point — the line where talk ends and action begins. Every serious market maker knows it.

When price trades here, things can move fast… and messy. ⚡

🔑 What most people miss

Japan is the largest foreign holder of U.S. Treasuries, roughly $1.2 trillion.

To defend the yen, they must sell dollars and buy yen.

Those dollars come from reserves — much of which are U.S. bonds.

So this stops being just an FX story.

It becomes a U.S. Treasury and global liquidity story — fast.

When Treasuries feel pressure:

Yields jump 📈

Funding tightens 💧

Risk appetite disappears 🚫

The chain reaction is always the same:

bonds crack first → stocks react → crypto takes the hardest, fastest hit.

⚠️ The bigger picture

Japan’s bond market is already showing stress.

Volatility in other markets is calm.

Positioning is crowded.

Everyone feels comfortable.

Which is exactly when surprises hurt the most.

I’ve studied macro for 10+ years and called major tops, including October BTC ATH.

The real warnings show up before headlines.

Markets aren’t ready.

And neither are most traders.
