đ¨WARNING: JAPAN BOND MARKET IS COOKED
Japanese bond yields are exploding in ways we almost never see in a "strong" economy.
The 10Y, 20Y, 30Y, and even 40Y JGB yields have hit their highest levels this century (10Y ~2.3%, 40Y >4% recently!).
Why should crypto traders care?
For decades, Japan was the world's cheapest funding source â near-zero (or negative) rates â yen carry trade fueled global risk assets, stocks, commodities, everything pumped.
That engine is now breaking. Japan faces:
⢠Collapsing birth rate â shrinking workforce
⢠Highest debt-to-GDP on Earth (~250%+)
⢠Growth potential tanks â bond buyers flee â yields spike
This isn't isolated. Capital is ROTATING hard:
Out of Japanese bonds â straight into hard assets like gold and silver (that's why PMs and JGB yields are rising together đ). Investors dumping gov debt for safe-haven protection.
But this phase won't last forever. If yields keep ripping:
⢠BOJ forced to pause tightening
⢠Bond buying restarts
⢠Yield curve control vibes return
We've already seen spillover carnage: S&P 500 wiped out massive value (reports of $1T+ losses tied to Japan liquidity fears). Japan isn't regionalâit's a global liquidity fault line.
What happens when BOJ steps in?
⢠Yields stabilize
⢠Gold/silver rush peaks â potential blow-off top
⢠Capital rotates back into risk-on (stocks, crypto?)
That's the moment I'll load up heavily on dips while others panic-wait for a bigger crash.
Precious metals heating up now, but watch for the reversal signal.
