Japan's 20-year government bond yield just broke through 3.135%, marking an 8-basis-point jump. This move is worth paying attention to for anyone watching global risk sentiment.

When long-dated JGB yields climb like this, it usually signals shifting expectations around interest rates and inflation. For crypto markets, this matters because moves in traditional fixed income often precede rotations in where capital flows—especially when yield curves start steepening or flattening.

The yen carry trade landscape has been volatile lately, and bond yield shifts in Japan's debt market can ripple across multiple asset classes. Whether this is part of a broader reflation narrative or just technical trading remains to be seen, but it's the kind of macro data point that deserves a spot on your radar if you're managing cross-asset exposure.

Japanese bonds are rising again. Why does it feel like the macro environment is getting more and more competitive?

Japanese 10-year bonds have surged like this; is it again the carry trade's fault or a genuine shift in inflation expectations? The details are crucial. --- Carry trade is starting to stir again; how long it can last depends on the central bank's stance. --- Bond yields jumped by 8bp, indicating market expectations are being re-priced; cryptocurrencies will follow suit sooner or later. History has shown us this happens every time. --- The 3.135% level feels like a critical point; once crossed, the game of capital allocation changes. --- Shifts in capital flows often occur not at high levels but at turning points; now is the time to start monitoring the market. --- Yen carry trade is acting up again? I've seen a lot of this cross-asset risk transmission, nothing new. --- So the question is, is this reflation or just a technical correction? The former is worth betting on.

Japanese bond yields break 3.135%, and I’m thinking this time they might cut another wave of retail investors. Capital flows are unpredictable, and my wallet certainly can’t predict either (laughing and crying.jpg). With Japanese bonds doing this, the carry trade will be stirred up again. Crypto friends, you better do your homework, or else you won’t even know how you got wrecked when the time comes. 8 basis points sounds small, but in reality, it’s big funds repositioning. As retail investors, let’s just watch the fun; after all, entertainment is free. Laughing, it broke 3.0. Truly Japan, even raising interest rates is so elegant (switching to tear-jerking mode). Capital rotation is basically big fish eating small fish. We need to learn to read K-lines instead of just reading news, or we’ll always be the main characters in the retail investor’s diary.

JGB breaking 3% really can't hold anymore, is this yen carry trade about to collapse?
