The ripple effect of Japan's rate hike: the end of global cheap liquidity

This rate hike is definitely not just a unilateral move by the Bank of Japan. It directly cuts off the most important arbitrage source of international capital—the yen carry trade. Many institutions and retail investors who borrow yen to go long risk assets are being forced to face the same choice: sell cryptocurrencies and stocks to pay off debt.

How will the market interpret this liquidity withdrawal? I list three possible scenarios:

**Slow descent probability (50%)**
Funds are not fleeing in a hive but are withdrawing wave by wave, leading to a prolonged, frustrating downward trend. In this case, bottom fishing is like gambling; watching the trend without acting is the best strategy.

**Mass panic sell probability (40%)**
Once panic ignites, risk assets will experience indiscriminate selling. The three-word response at this point is: deleverage, hold cash, stay alive. Even with confidence in your holdings, you should leave yourself an exit.

**Rebound becoming real probability (10%)**
If the rate hike is actually very small, and the Federal Reserve shifts to an easing policy later, a violent rebound after the bearish sentiment clears could occur. But this is only a benefit for those already holding positions—chasing high with no position is a gambler's mentality.

In simple terms: the era of the cheapest borrowing worldwide is coming to an end, and market volatility will exponentially increase. Stay alert, manage risks well, and wait until this storm truly subsides before taking action.

The yen carry trade has been cut off... This is troublesome, it feels like I have to start really cutting losses.

With the carry trade of the yen being cut, the whole market has to shake three times... A downward movement with a 50% probability is the most frustrating, even harder to bear than a big dump.

Yen carry trade is over. Next, it's all about who runs first and who runs later. There's a 50% chance of getting wiped out...

The yen carry trade line has finally been cut, and the overdue liquidation has arrived... Watching these leverage maniacs in the crypto circle start to pay off their debts, they truly deserve it.

Yen carry trade has been cut off; this wave definitely requires caution. The 50% probability of a frustrating slow decline is the most annoying, worse than a sharp drop.

The collapse of yen carry trades is indeed quite intense. I actually want to see whether this time will be a gradual decline or a direct stampede. With probabilities given so precisely, I find it a bit hard to believe.

I've been through it all. That wave of yen carry trade liquidations in 2018 was a killer. A 50% gradual decline is even more terrifying than a stampede, taking two or three months to play out. Leveraged traders would have been margin called long ago.

Once the yen carry trade breaks, I know something's going to happen. We really need to stay away from this wave...

Yen carry trade explodes, retail investors have to foot the bill... This time, it's really about holding cash to survive; relying on bottom-fishing to turn things around is just gambling.

The yen carry trade has been broken, and it's indeed time to get nervous. The 50% decline in price is the most frustrating, feeling like you just have to watch from the sidelines.
