$HANA 🚨 BIG WARNING: JAPAN BOND MARKET IS COOKED NOW.
Japanese bond yields are now moving in ways that almost never happen in a strong economy.
The 10Y, 20Y, 30Y, and even 40Y bond yields have reached their highest levels this century.
But why should you care?
For decades, Japan was the world’s cheapest source of money.
Rates were near zero, sometimes even negative. Global investors borrowed yen and poured that capital into stocks, commodities, and risk assets everywhere.
That cheap funding was one of the hidden engines behind global market highs, and now that engine is breaking.
Right now, Japan is facing: • A collapsing birth rate • A shrinking future workforce • The highest debt-to-GDP ratio on Earth
When growth potential falls and debt stays massive, bond buyers lose confidence and start to sell.
And when they sell, yields explode higher.
That is exactly what is happening now.
But this money is not disappearing. It is rotating.
The capital leaving Japanese bonds is moving straight into gold and silver.
That is why precious metals and Japanese yields are rising almost together. Investors are exiting government debt and hiding in hard assets.
But this phase will not last forever.
If yields keep rising: • The Bank of Japan will be forced to stop tightening • Bond buying will restart • Yield suppression will return
And we have started to see the carnage from Japan’s rising bond yields.
The S&P 500 recently erased more than $1.3 trillion in market value, largely because of fears linked to Japan’s bond market stress.
This is because Japan is not a regional issue. It is a global liquidity fault line.
And what will happen when the BOJ steps in?
• Yields will stabilize • The rush into gold and silver will peak • Metals will likely form a blow-off top • Capital will rotate again into risk-on assets
And that is when I will start going in heavily, while others will wait for an even bigger crash.
Once it breaks 3200, I really see the 'timidity' in this ETH market.
To be honest, $ETH when this broke 3200, my first reaction was not 'should I buy the dip', but one sentence: It's over, the morale of the people in the market has scattered. If you watch the market for a long time, you know that once certain positions are lost, the market will 'change its face'. 3200 is that kind of price level for ETH, where once it is lost, everyone immediately starts to play dead. It's not panic, it's not a waterfall, it's a more real and more uncomfortable state— No one dared to act. 1. When it hit 3200, what was crushed was the 'courage to try'. During the time above 3200, the market was actually very interesting.
