Analysis: Yen carry trades have contracted significantly, and Bitcoin may strengthen after the Bank of Japan's policy pressure eases.
Glassnode co-founder Negentropic stated that the market is not afraid of tightening (interest rate hikes), but rather afraid of uncertainty.

Yen carry trades have significantly contracted, volatility means opportunity, and Bitcoin often strengthens after policy pressure is released, not before. Chaos decreases, signals strengthen. This looks like preparation for asymmetric upside risk.
