🇯🇵 JAPAN JUST MADE A MARKET STATEMENT… AND CRYPTO FELT IT
Today was historic.
The Japanese yen bounced back against the dollar and euro — not by accident, but because markets are pricing in a policy-driven shift in Tokyo. Foreign capital is flowing back, confidence is rising, and the political backdrop isn’t just noise anymore — it’s market structure.
This isn’t small currency chatter.
We just saw:
• The Nikkei hit record levels — signaling domestic optimism.
• The government and BOJ aligning after a major election win.
• Officials openly monitoring FX volatility.
That’s a political narrative with real market juice — because when a major reserve currency shifts direction, risk assets price that too.
So here’s the question:
Is crypto now sensitive to real macro policy shifts…
or just price action with no fundamentals?
I say:
When a major currency like JPY repositions vs USD,
and equities reprice around it… BTC, ETH, and even XRP will care.
This is not a local story — it’s a global capital-flow story.
