Since December 2025, institutional research has been clear on this outcome.🎯 The Bank of Japan has held its benchmark rate at 0.75%. Concerns about a repeat of the 2024 carry trade unwind and pressure on risk assets are circulating again.🔻 However, the evidence points in a different direction.☝️ From the December 2025 Global Markets Weekly Wrap-Up: “the yen is weakening rather than strengthening, which keeps the CARRY TRADE ALIVE. With no yen spike, risk assets get a GREEN LIGHT.”✅ The yen is getting weaker, not stronger. This allows the carry trade to continue without disruption and prevents a sudden yen surge from hurting equities, bitcoin, and other risk assets.🎯 It also states: “Ueda is walking a tightrope, but for now LIQUIDITY IS STILL THERE and cheap money isn’t vanishing.”✅ The BOJ Governor is balancing policy carefully, but overall financial conditions remain supportive. Liquidity and low-cost funding are STILL AVAILABLE, so markets are not losing their key support.💰 Presto Research adds: “speculative yen positioning is net long, UNLIKE the heavily short positioning that preceded the major carry-trade unwind in 2024.”✅ Current trader positions are net long the yen. This is the OPPOSITE of 2024, when heavy short positions built up and then caused a sharp unwind.‼️ And: “there is NO yen-funded carry trade balance left for a modest BOJ hike to forcibly unwind.”✅ There are not enough large yen-funded carry trade positions remaining that a small rate hike could force to collapse. The last line of Presto research truly reveals the dangers of unrealistic expectations around a Yen Carry Trade collapse.🔑 “If so, this pullback may prove to be the last major buying opportunity before the anticipated 2026 global liquidity bonanza.”✅ Believing the recurring fear and hype around a Japan driven meltdown carries real costs. 💯 Many retail investors have already sat on the sidelines waiting for a carry trade collapse that has not materialized. ⏭️ This has potentially caused them to miss entry into altcoins and other risk assets right before broader institutional adoption, expected Fed rate cuts, and regulatory clarity drive significant liquidity into the market.📈 Japan policy decisions matter, but they are not on track to derail the bigger liquidity picture.👍 Financial markets often react to uncertainty, and social media can amplify concerns. If you are feeling uneasy, this is understandable.🤝 My Advice: focus on the data from these institutional sources.🧾 Theories around Japan and oil is an “overreaction from a nervous market”. ☝️ This post simply presents that evidence for consideration.📝👇

"I'm Disappointed" — Trump Blasts GOP Leader Thune

BREAKING: President Trump calls on Republicans to terminate the filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act: "We should have voter identification—voter ID. We should have proof of citizenship. We should have mail-in voting for the military and people who need it, but not for everybody. "In all fairness to the Democrats, when you have men in women's sports, when you have open borders, when you have transgender mutilation—don't listen to this, kids..." "When you have policies like that, you have to cheat. It's the only way they can win. And we shouldn't allow them to cheat. And we should terminate the filibuster because if they get the chance, they'll do it in the first hour back."

John Brennan & James Comey's handwritten notes of the planning and execution of the Russia Collusion Coup against a sitting president of the United States.

It's pretty obvious that Scott Jennings is now the voice of the Conservative movement in the media. Tucker Carlson is now just another grifter podcaster who cries about President Trump and Israel 24/7 with a handful of like minded guests.
