But this model is now breaking down. The country is facing a perfect storm: a <strong>colossal debt of 230% of its GDP<\/strong> (the highest in history), persistent inflation <strong>at 3%<\/strong>, and exploding bond yields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM JUST BROKE IN TOKYO<br><br>Japan\u2019s 30-year bond yield hit 3.41% today.

For now, it has chosen the second option, announcing a new <strong>stimulus plan of 21.3 trillion yen<\/strong>, a decision that only worsens the debt problem and further weakens the yen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-domino-effect-how-japan-is-dragging-down-bitcoin\">The Domino Effect: How Japan Is Dragging Down Bitcoin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The link between Japan and <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-investing\/buy\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin<\/a> lies in a financial mechanism called the &#8220;yen carry trade.&#8221; For 30 years, financial institutions worldwide have been massively borrowing yen at near-zero rates to invest in riskier, higher-yielding assets, such as U.S. stocks and, more recently, Bitcoin. The size of this <strong>&#8220;carry trade&#8221;<\/strong> is estimated between <strong>$350 billion and $4 trillion<\/strong>. A colossal amount hidden in complex derivative products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">No one on CT is talking about Japan..<br><br>Their yields just shot up overnight again<br><br>It&#39;s just not sustainable<br><br>How are they going to reduce their debt to GDP ratio if their yield is this high?<br><br>Either way, when USDJPY breaks, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$BTC<\/a> feels it first.  <br><br>Watch Japan like your portfolio\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Is4AEZGWJ0\">pic.twitter.com\/Is4AEZGWJ0<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Boxmining (@boxmining) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/boxmining\/status\/1991371893832839300?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 20, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The danger is that this trade is only profitable if the yen remains weak. If the BoJ is forced to raise rates to defend its currency, or if the market loses confidence and the yen strengthens abruptly, this entire house of cards collapses. Investors would be <strong>forced to urgently sell their assets (stocks, Bitcoin) to repay their yen-denominated loans<\/strong>. As one analyst puts it, &#8220;when USD\/JPY breaks, Bitcoin feels it first.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/learn\/crypto\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin<\/a>, being one of the most liquid and riskiest assets, would be the first to be sold, triggering <strong>contagion<\/strong> across all financial markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bitcoin-the-82000-zone-as-the-last-line-of-defense\">Bitcoin: The $82,000 Zone as the Last Line of Defense<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this tense macroeconomic context, technical analysis gives us a roadmap of key levels to watch. The current drop has a clear objective: the high liquidity zone located around <strong>$82,000<\/strong>. This level is not insignificant. It corresponds not only to a major liquidity pool where numerous buy orders are placed, but it&#8217;s also the <strong>average purchase price of BlackRock&#8217;s IBIT ETF<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a major psychological and technical zone that could act as a powerful support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"766\" src=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/11\/image-138.jpeg\" alt=\"Bitcoin price in 1 week with Order Block\" class=\"wp-image-22089\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.investx.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/11\/image-138.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/media.investx.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/11\/image-138-300x224.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/media.investx.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/11\/image-138-768x575.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A bounce from this <strong>$82,000 zone<\/strong> is entirely possible, with a first short-term target around <strong>$87,000<\/strong>. However, this would only be a technical rebound. For hopes of a sustained bullish recovery to be rekindled, Bitcoin must imperatively reclaim the <strong>$90,000 level<\/strong> and transform it into solid support. As long as this level is not regained, the market remains under threat of a new wave of decline, with the specter of the Japanese crisis looming over all risk assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">OWEN GUNDEN HAS NOW SOLD ALL OF HIS $1.3 BILLION BITCOIN<br><br>Owen Gunden was an OG Bitcoin whale who held BTC since 2011.
