Interesting macro take — yen stress + carry unwind can hurt short term, but long term it supports BTC via weaker USD and more liquidity. Short-term pain, long-term fuel.

Yen Intervention Trap – USD Liquidity Flood Mapped
🚨 ARITHMETIC IS MERCILESS : Jan 25, 2026. USDJPY cracks 155.90 (Bloomberg), biggest day surge in 6mo on BOJ/MoF intervention whispers.
NY Fed rate checks = pre-strike signal, first joint US-Japan since Plaza '85. Solo Japan fails ('22, '24 interventions fizzled); coordinated? Dollar down 50% post-'85, gold/comms/non-US assets pumped. Trap: $14T JGB derivs repriced at BOJ 0.75%, yen carry unwind ($300B+ est.) forces asset dumps short-term.
1/ Macro Asymétrie : Fed creates USD, sells for JPY – weakens DXY (already -10% '25), spikes global liq. TGA rebuild offsets shutdown risks, but dovish pivot Q2 '26 (80% odds) amplifies. BTC inverse USD corr 0.92 (record highs vs JPY positive). Prédiction #1: Joint intervene by Feb 15 → DXY <95, BTC gap $95k (delete if DXY >97).
2/ Géo-Sovereign Pivot : Not charity saves US Tsy from Japan dump (10% holdings). China watches: Gallium/silver bans (MOFCOM #68) + Taiwan drills. Houthis Eilat choke (-22%) reroutes via Berbera. Energy nexus: Zaporizhzhia BTC mining bids (IAEA pending) hedges yen stress.
3/ Crypto Edge : Carry flush risks -15% BTC dip (Aug '24 echo: $64k→$49k, $600B wipe). But post-flush: Dollar debase = BTC reprice to '25 ATHs. MicroStrategy 671k BTC at parity; ETF inflows $25B YTD absorb. Prédiction #2: Yen +5% Q1 → BTC +20% lag (or thread gone).
4/ Reconstruction Map : Collapse: Carry traps burst. Rebuild: Multipolar liq flood, crypto as debase hedge. Arbitrage: Long BTC dips, short JPY carry vol. Full falsifiables in Substack mirror.
Big precedent if true. Turning frozen reserves into bargaining chips weakens trust in the system. That only strengthens neutral assets like gold and $BTC over time.

🚨 #BREAKING : Global Finance Just Stepped Into Unknown Waters 😳🌍
Trump is reportedly looking at letting Putin use $1 BILLION of Russia's frozen assets as the mandatory “entry fee” for his proposed Board of Peace.
If this actually happens, it completely changes how we think about sanctions.
💥 Why this matters big time: • Sanctions could turn into negotiation chips • Frozen sovereign assets become straight-up political bargaining power • The security of global reserves is now in question
📉 How markets might react: • Bitcoin ($BTC) — neutral, borderless reserve story gets even stronger • Gold ($XAU) — demand as a trust hedge picks up speed • US Treasuries — more eyes on them if reserves start feeling politically risky
📌 The real danger: If frozen assets can just be redirected for political plays like this, nations sitting on TRILLIONS in USD reserves might start rethinking their whole strategy.
So what is this move exactly? 🕊️ A clever fast-track to peace? ⚠️ Or a risky precedent that could kill the power of sanctions for good?
One thing is clear: Bonds, gold, and crypto are going to be under the microscope now 👀
Exactly. This is a decision zone. Hold the trendline → upside opens. Lose it → deeper demand gets tested.
React, don’t predict.

Look at this setup carefully cos, $BTC is compressing right on a rising 4H trendline that has held since the December lows. Price is no longer trending impulsively — it’s coiling. Sellers failed to extend below recent lows, while buyers are stepping in earlier each dip. This is classic compression before expansion.
As long as BTC holds above the trendline, this looks like absorption, not breakdown. A clean hold + reclaim of local range opens the door for a move back toward the 94–96K liquidity pocket. A decisive loss of the trendline flips the bias short-term and exposes the 86–87K demand.
Key Levels
Support: 88.8K – 89.2K (trendline + range base)
Bullish Trigger: Acceptance above 90.5K
Upside Target: 94.5K → 95.5K
Bearish Invalidation: Sustained break below 88.5K
This is not a chase zone. It’s a reaction zone. BTC decides direction here — traders react, gamblers guess.
Macro-driven bounce. JPY strength and FX flows likely helped, but sustainability depends on holding above the range — not the headline spike.

🟠 Bitcoin surges to $91,000, showing signs of life on suspected Bank of Japan intervention
Bitcoin $BTC $90,657.36 reclaimed the $91,000 level in early U.S. afternoon hours on Friday, continuing volatile action and threatening to sustainably break out of its tight week-long range of roughly $88,000-$90,000.
Possibly behind the quick 2% move off of the morning’s lows was suspected intervention in the foreign exchange market by Japanese authorities. The Bank of Japan overnight left monetary policy unchanged, but was somewhat hawkish in its policy statement. That had the yen modestly stronger versus the U.S. dollar — a move that quickly compounded just after the noon hour on the U.S. east coast, with some traders saying the action had the hallmarks of FX intervention.
For all the talk about President Trump, Greenland, tariffs, precious metals, AI, and any number of other headline-making subjects, there is a sizable cohort of traders who believe the weakening yen exchange rate in recent months — and the implications for leveraged carry trades — is behind the struggles of bitcoin and the broader crypto market.
To the extent that that weakness is reversed, those same traders believe risk assets like crypto could benefit.
🔸 Crypto-related stocks gaining
Bitcoin miners, including those with increasing exposure to artificial intelligence infrastructure, reversed all their early declines into a strong rally. Iren (IREN), Hut 8 (HUT), TeraWulf (WULF) and CleanSpark (CLSK) were up 5%-10% despite starting the session in the red. Strategy (MSTR), the largest corporate bitcoin holder, bounced 5% from Friday's low. Down sharply early on Friday, Coinbase (COIN) narrowed its loss to just 1%.
U.S. stocks have also reversed an early decline, with the Nasdaq now higher by 0.6%. Precious metals continue to soar, with silver now higher by more than 5% to $101.44 per ounce and gold ahead 1.5% to just a few dollars shy of $5,000. Platinum and palladium are up more than 6% each.
