🗡️ FROM DOVE KING TO SWORD DRAWN — THE YEN ERA ENDS
$ETH $BTC
$ZEC The so-called “Dove King” has finally unsheathed the sword.
On Christmas Eve, the Bank of Japan delivered the one move global markets feared most:
👉 30 years of free yen — officially over.
Governor Kazuo Ueda, long seen as ultra-dovish, shocked markets by openly signaling rate hikes ahead.
Negative interest rates have now been sentenced to death.
What did he actually say? • Wages are rising fast
• Prices can no longer be suppressed
• The 2% inflation target is within reach
• Real rates are still too low
• Further rate hikes must be considered
Translation:
🗡️ Rate hikes will continue next year.
Markets reacted instantly.
Just weeks ago, Ueda stayed vague — the yen dumped to 157.
Now this sudden pivot looks like a direct counterattack on shorts.
The backbone of the yen carry trade, abused for three decades, is cracking.
The chain reaction has begun:
1️⃣ The Yen ATM is shutting down
Borrowing near-zero-cost yen to chase global yield is no longer safe.
Highly leveraged positions are now flirting with liquidation.
2️⃣ Global capital is repositioning
Japanese assets lose the “cheap trash” label and re-enter the market as yield-bearing instruments.
Global liquidity is being reshaped in real time.
3️⃣ The narrative has changed
No more “are we at the bottom?”
The new question is: when is the next hike?
This isn’t a routine policy tweak — it’s a 30-year monetary experiment ending.
When the last major negative-rate central bank draws its sword, a new volatility chapter begins.

Is this the era of going long the yen — or the opening act of a bigger crisis?
