#大户持仓动态 The Bank of Japan's move not only changed the yen—it officially closed the last liquidity door in the world.

Many people think that Japan's rate hike has nothing to do with them, but that idea needs to change. What does it mean when the world's last economy holding onto negative interest rates turns around and hikes rates? It signifies the end of an era of over a decade of liquidity flooding. The Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank have long been tightening liquidity, and today the BOJ officially adds the final piece—all three major global liquidity engines have entered a contraction mode.

Why is this so terrifying? Because the bad news "market has already anticipated" is often the most dangerous. Everyone has been waiting for this moment—the central bank finally acts—and then? Then comes a chain reaction. The BOJ claims that "the monetary environment remains accommodative," but actual actions are already starting to withdraw liquidity. There is a trap hidden in this contradiction—the more the central bank emphasizes "it's not that tight yet," the more it indicates they fear market overreaction. But once the tightening gears start turning, they can't stop.

For holders of assets, the situation has changed. Your USD assets, already shrinking under high Fed interest rates, are now being affected by a "money attraction effect" from the yen, and international capital is accelerating its flow back into traditional financial systems. At this moment, cryptocurrencies, as risk assets, are always the first to be cut during liquidity downturns. The correlation between $ETH, BTC, US Treasury yields, and the Nikkei index will become tighter, and this correlation may experience sharp fluctuations in the near future.

What should you actually do?

First, quickly review your leverage exposure. Especially positions collateralized in yen or other low-interest currencies, as financing costs are quietly rising—don't wait until liquidation to react.

Second, increase your cash reserves. Don't be fooled by the "mild recovery."

Another liquidity contraction? Old story, is this time really different? Regarding the BOJ rate hike, I actually think it's not that scary; what's scarier is everyone waiting for this moment. Leverage positions should be liquidated when they need to be, they deserve it anyway. Wait, the yen's capital attraction effect is kicking in, should those shorting the yen close their positions? To put it simply, it's still one sentence: risk assets taking a hit is fate, just accept it. The era of liquidity might really be coming to an end, feeling a bit regretful. Brothers financing in yen, pay attention now, this time it might not be a fake fall. I've heard this theory several times, and in the end, they just keep printing money. Even if I talk about liquidity a hundred more times, I choose to lie flat and watch. Once the tightening screws start turning, nothing can be saved; everyone run away. The phrase "cash is king," this time it's finally not just empty talk. It seems this round of crypto is going to be tied to US Treasury yields, so annoying.

The Bank of Japan's move is really coming, I thought they might hold off a bit longer, but now the three major central banks are moving in unison, liquidity is really running out. Wait, so should I reduce my positions now or continue to bottom fish? Feeling a bit confused. I heard that guys borrowing in yen are already starting to panic, and this wave will cause another round of liquidations. U.S. bonds and the dollar are both attracting capital, where can BTC go from here? Need to think about how to protect capital. Check your leveraged positions quickly, don’t wait until they really blow up and then regret it. This pace is much faster than expected. I just want to ask, who still dares to add leverage now?

The Bank of Japan's move causes global tremors—this time, there's really no liquidity left, brothers. --- Another central bank is tightening liquidity; the crypto world is about to get unlucky. --- In plain terms, the era of draining blood has arrived. Holding coins won't be easy anymore. --- Wait, will low-interest currency collateralized loans爆仓? They're digging a trap. --- The last door in the world has closed. Those who relied on bloodsucking to get by should start thinking about retreat. --- No, the more the central bank talks about easing, the more tense it gets. I've seen this trick too many times. --- Is BTC about to become a conjoined twin with US Treasury yields? That previous rebound might really be GG. --- Leverage exposure definitely needs to be cleaned up. I've seen too many tragedies of爆仓 before. --- The tide of liquidity retreating is really fierce. Don't even think about escaping from risk assets. --- The yen's money吸金 effect is quite interesting. Want to exchange currency, everyone?

The idea of liquidity being closed has been heard too many times, and every time they say it's the last step... but the coins are still there. The Bank of Japan's recent move claiming "easing" is actually a bit funny, openly draining liquidity while pretending nothing's wrong. Quickly check your leverage exposure—that's the real advice, or it'll be too late when a margin call happens.
