All central banks around the world are watching the rate cut window, but the Bank of Japan has made a 180-degree turn—raising interest rates by 25 basis points, pushing the rate to 0.75%. This is not a performance; it’s being forced onto the stage. The long-term depreciation of the yen and inflation eroding purchasing power have made rate hikes a stopgap measure, but the cost is enough to make one gasp.
Government bond pressures, rising corporate costs, and increased burdens on mortgage holders... On the surface, it appears to be a stabilizing policy, but in reality, each step is testing the bottom line. More importantly, the carry trade line—once Japan raises interest rates, the arbitrage space for international capital instantly collapses, leading to short squeezes and exporters facing new exchange rate dilemmas.
Is this a deep adjustment or the beginning of new risks? How long can the rate hikes last? How much resilience does the fiscal system have? The increasing linkage between the crypto world and traditional markets makes this volatility worth paying close attention to.

Japan's move is really ruthless; the carry trade is collapsing, and the crypto world is about to suffer.

Japan's move is brilliant, directly collapsing the carry trade. When the short positions are liquidated, some people are probably going to go bankrupt.

Japan's move this time is really brilliant. How will the coin price move at the moment of a leveraged position liquidation?

With this move in Japan, the carry trade is directly finished, and the shorts are probably going to vomit blood.

The Bank of Japan's move is quite ruthless; once the carry trade collapses, I knew the crypto market would start trembling.
