🚨WARNING: SOMETHING EXTREMELY BAD JUST HAPPENED!! Japan just hit the panic button. The BOJ has officially hiked interest rates to 1.25%. Japan hasn't seen rates this high since the 1990s. And if you think this has no impact on global markets... YOU ARE COMPLETELY WRONG. Every time the BOJ raised rates, Bitcoin crashed 20%+ within days. But this goes far beyond Bitcoin and risk assets. This is about global liquidity. This is about capital moving across borders. And this is about a market that is completely unprepared for what comes next. Let me explain. The last time Japan operated around these interest rate levels, the global financial system was already under serious pressure. In 1994, the infamous "Great Bond Massacre" destroyed roughly $1.5 TRILLION in bond market value. Then the pressure accelerated. In early 1995, the Japanese yen went PARABOLIC. On April 19, 1995, USD/JPY collapsed to 79.75 - the lowest level ever recorded. Now here's what almost nobody is talking about. Japan tightened monetary policy... And then it was forced to reverse course. Later that same year, the BOJ cut its discount rate back to 0.50%. That one fact tells you EVERYTHING. Because when Japan tightens into a fragile financial system, the consequences don't remain inside Japan. Japan is a critical pillar of global liquidity. Japan is one of the world's largest sources of funding. And Japan remains one of the largest foreign holders of U.S. debt. Today, Japan holds more than $1.15 TRILLION in U.S. Treasuries. That means any major shift in Japanese monetary policy will hit EVERY major asset class around the world. THIS IS THE WARNING. Not because rates are higher. But because the last time Japan reached these levels, financial stress was already building. Markets aren't pricing that risk today. But eventually, they will. I've spent more than a decade studying macroeconomics and market cycles. I've called major market tops and bottoms, including Bitcoin's $126K ATH. Follow and turn notifications on. I'll post the next call here first.
