BREAKING: USD/JPY just broke 160.
The last time this happened, the Bank of Japan spent billions of dollars trying to push it back down.
USD/JPY measures how many Japanese yen you need to buy one US dollar.
When the number goes up, the yen is getting weaker against the dollar. When it goes down, the yen is getting stronger. Right now the number is above 160, which means the yen is very weak by historical standards.
The reason the yen is this weak comes down to one thing: the interest rate gap between the US and Japan.
US interest rates are currently around 4.4%. Japan's interest rate is 0.5%. That gap is enormous. Because of this gap, traders have been doing carry trade. You borrow money in Japan at 0.5%, convert it to dollars, and park it in US assets earning 4.4%.
The difference is your profit. As long as the yen stays weak or keeps getting weaker, this trade keeps working. Thousands of traders doing this same trade at the same time keeps pushing USD/JPY higher, which keeps the yen weak, which keeps the trade profitable. It feeds itself.
The problem is that 160 is the level where Tokyo historically stops tolerating it.
In 2024, when USD/JPY crossed 160, the Bank of Japan intervened directly in the currency market. They sold US dollars and bought Japanese yen to artificially push the yen stronger. The result was that USD/JPY dropped from 160 all the way down to 140 between mid July and the first week of August 2024. That is a 12.5% move in roughly three weeks.
When that happened, it did not just affect the currency market.
Everyone who had borrowed in yen suddenly found that their yen debt was getting more expensive in real terms as the yen strengthened. They were forced to sell assets to cover their positions.
US bond yields dropped. Stock markets sold off. It caused a short but sharp shock across multiple asset classes simultaneously.
Right now the setup is almost identical to what it was before that happened.
USD/JPY is above 160. The carry trade is fully active again. The interest rate gap between the US and Japan has not closed meaningfully. And the Bank of Japan is watching the same level they intervened at last time.
There are two ways this plays out from here.
THE FIRST SCENARIO is that the Bank of Japan stays silent and does nothing. In that case, the next technical level to watch on the chart is 161.95, which is the all-time high for USD/JPY. That is approximately 1.7% above current levels. If USD/JPY reaches and breaks that level, it would be in completely new territory with no historical resistance above it.
THE SECOND SCENARIO is that the Bank of Japan issues a verbal warning or intervenes directly in the market again. Based on what happened in 2024, a direct intervention could push USD/JPY down 4% or more within hours.
That kind of sudden move would pressure carry trade positions immediately and could trigger another unwind across global assets.
The level that separates these two scenarios is 161.95.
Below it, the carry trade continues and the yen keeps weakening gradually. Above it, you are in uncharted territory and the probability of intervention increases significantly.
If intervention happens, it will not just move the yen. It will move bond yields, stock markets, and gold simultaneously, exactly as it did in the summer of 2024.
USD/JPY at these levels is one of the most important numbers in global markets right now. It is currently driving more cross asset movement than US bond yields or gold on their own.

Bitcoin has a huge problem that nobody talks about.
Is everyone ignoring it on purpose? Possibly.
But bitcoin’s fundamental thesis has changed drastically.
The hard truth? 21 million is no longer the maximum supply.
I’ve been in this game since the Mt. Gox days.
We used to worry about exchange hacks.
Now? We should be worrying about financialization.
If you think bitcoin is purely supply vs. demand, you’re trading a market that doesn't exist anymore.
Maxis won’t tell you this, but bitcoin has been fractionalized.
Wall Street didn’t buy bitcoin to pump your bags and make you rich lol.
They bought it to turn it into a fee-generating instrument, just like they did with gold in the 80s.
The paper bitcoin multiplier:
In the old days, 1 BTC = 1 BTC.
You held the keys, you owned the asset.
Today, thanks to ETFs, lending, and the futures/derivatives complex, one bitcoin can support multiple layers of claims and price exposure at the same time.
Here’s the idea:
1. The Base: 1 real BTC sits with a custodian (backing an ETF or large holder).
2. The Hedge: Market makers and funds use CME futures/options to hedge that exposure.
3. The Leverage: Traders take perp positions (cash-settled) that multiply BTC exposure without touching spot.
4. The Wrapper: BTC can be locked and tokenized (wrapped) for DeFi yield, creating another claim layer.
5. The Note: Banks issue structured products tied to BTC price/volatility. More exposure, more claims.
That’s one coin on-chain.
But it’s FIVE CLAIMS in the order book.
When supply is elastic (via derivatives), scarcity is irrelevant in the short term.
They can print infinite paper BTC to absorb demand, capping rallies and forcing liquidations whenever they want liquidity.
This is exactly how they destroyed Gold's volatility.
Can it be fixed?
There’s only one way to make the 21 Million cap real again.
Get your coins off exchanges and take self-custody.
As long as your coins are sitting on a centralized ledger, they’re being used as collateral to bet against you.
That doesn’t make me bearish long term, because I’ve seen this same setup before.
Btw I’ll share a new BTC update very soon, do not miss it.
Remember, I called the EXACT bitcoin top at $126k in october.
When I start deploying capital again, I’ll say it here like I always do.
A lot of people will regret not following me.

Look they're selling free money on Lego
pre-orders of the two largest collector franchises ever doing collaboration
Pokemon x Lego
each comes with a little extra Lego set that only comes with the pre-orders
for context the Millennium Falcons that were like $400 originally at one point were worth $7,000 a pop
I'm definitely gonna buy one of each just for the fun of it

@j_fishback @sophieraiin On this issue you get a W if passed. 👏🏽

Sophie is pissed at me because she's about to pay the State of Florida $42 million in taxes, which I'll proudly use to increase teacher pay and improve school lunches.
I refuse to let smart and capable young women like @SophieRaiin be exploited by OnlyFans and its rapacious owners.

If I was a home buyer today this would be my strategy:
Find the best location in my market and make a list of all buyer who either a) have no mortgage or b) who have sub 4% interest rates. I would then make an offers on multiple houses with those that qualify. On homes paid for I would ask the seller to finance for 36 months at 5% and for scenario b) anyone with a sub 4% you should simply assume the debt. Quit worrying about price worry about terms.

@CandaceOwensPod Wow. The Daily Wire is so pathetic. No wonder the viewership is declining. 🤡 show

I wasn’t planning to comment on the death of MIT Professor Nuno Loureiro without looking closely at his research first & what I found is quite intriguing
👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Loureiro was director of the MIT Plasma Science & Fusion Center and Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics working on nuclear fusion to create a virtually unlimited clean energy source.
he was shot multiple times at night in his home but…he’s not the first…Eugene Mallove another MIT scientist passionate about fusion energy was beaten to death outside his home in 2004 with 32 lacerations to his face and body
why his research represented an existential threat ??
understand that Loureiro specifically worked on understanding magnetized plasma dynamics magnetic reconnection plasma turbulence & confinement & transport mechanisms in fusion plasmas
his research directly helped inform the design of fusion devices capable of harnessing the energy of fusing plasmas bringing the dream of clean near limitless fusion power closer to reality
what makes his work so dangerous for certain players is it attacked precisely the scientific bottlenecks preventing fusion from becoming commercially viable
in a tokamak plasma is confined by extremely powerful toroidal magnetic fields but magnetohydrodynamic instabilities like tearing modes /disruptions edge localized modes can destroy confinement in milliseconds and damage inner walls
understanding & controlling these phenomena is KEY to moving from experimental reactors to operational commercial plant
if fusion becomes viable in the next 10-15 years it doesn’t just displace an industry it renders obsolete the entire current global energy infrastructure valued at 8 trillion dollars…
a fusion plant uses deuterium extractable from seawater in virtually infinite quantities, one liter of seawater contains enough deuterium to produce the energy equivalent of 300 liters of gasoline & tritium is produced via reactions with abundant lithium
the raw material is inexhaustible decentralized free and accessible to all countries without geopolitical dependence 🤫
but… fossil industry fundamentally relies on controlled scarcity and geopolitical dependence…Oil & gas are geographically concentrated Middle East / Russia / Texas enabling price control via OPEC & oil majors generate 200+ billion dollars in annual profits because they control extraction refining distribution of a scarce resource everyone must buy
fusion destroys this model by making energy abundant and decentralized
any country with seawater access can produce its own deuterium & build fusion reactors: no more importing oil / no dependence on the Strait of Hormuz /no geopolitical leverage based on energy reserves
energy prices would collapse once fusion reactors are amortized because marginal fuel cost is essentially zero!!!
understand what this means for ExxonMobil which owns 22 billion barrels of oil reserves valued on their balance sheet at 1k5 billion dollars ???
if fusion becomes viable these reserves become stranded assets worthless overnight & their refining infrastructure pipelines tankers gas stations all this infrastructure becomes obsolete in one generation
understand that if Loureiro & his team succeeded in precisely modeling these instabilities and developing active control techniques via AI and real-time magnetic feedback it would reduce the timeline to commercial fusion by 5-10 years
that means startups like Commonwealth Fusion Systems would go from 2035 promise to 2030 deployment
the real question is how many brilliant scientists must die under suspicious circumstances before we start protecting our researchers in strategic Fields ???
bc if we leave our most precious minds unprotected we implicitly accept that massive financial interests can eliminate with impunity those who threaten their business model
