For the <strong>first time since 2008<\/strong>, the yield on 2-year Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs) has broken through the symbolic threshold of <strong>1%<\/strong>. This sudden surge reflects renewed expectations of a rate hike by the Bank of Japan.<\/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\">Japanese bonds puking on renewed expectations of rate hike: Sends 2Yr JGB yield above 1% for the first time since 2008, and Nikkei tumbles. And since Bitcoin always correlates with anything that&#39;s down, we have a 4% dump in Bitcoin in Asian trading. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dL0Uc4bYD2\">pic.twitter.com\/dL0Uc4bYD2<\/a><\/p>&mdash; zerohedge (@zerohedge) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/zerohedge\/status\/1995297154420855001?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 1, 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 immediate consequence: the Nikkei index plummeted, creating a contagion effect across global markets. <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/learn\/crypto\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin<\/a>, which maintains a <strong>strong correlation<\/strong> with stock indices and global liquidity, didn&#8217;t escape the selloff. Investors, caught off guard by this potential monetary tightening, massively reduced their exposure to volatile assets (risk-off).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bloodbath-in-derivatives-573-million-liquidated\">Bloodbath in Derivatives: $573 Million Liquidated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The price collapse triggered a cascade of liquidations across trading platforms. Within 24 hours, the market recorded over <strong>$573 million in liquidated positions<\/strong>, the vast majority being long positions (buyers betting on upside).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This long squeeze phenomenon accelerated the decline, forcing algorithms and traders to sell at market to cover their losses. Volatility is at its peak, and <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin<\/a> is now testing critical support levels. If selling pressure persists, and if the S&amp;P 500 (particularly tech stocks like Nvidia) confirms this bearish trend at the U.S. open, BTC could revisit the <strong>$60,000 to $70,000 zone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"silver-soars-a-flight-to-safety\">Silver Soars: A Flight to Safety?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Paradoxically, while Bitcoin and tech stocks correct, precious metals are exploding. Silver hit <strong>$58<\/strong>, an all-time high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This decoupling suggests that capital isn&#8217;t disappearing, but rather fleeing toward safe haven assets amid <strong>uncertainty<\/strong> over Asian monetary policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-watch-in-the-coming-hours\">What to Watch in the Coming Hours<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. market close will be decisive. Traders should monitor three key indicators:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The reaction of the <strong>S&amp;P 500<\/strong> and Nasdaq at the open.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bitcoin&#8217;s ability to hold its psychological support level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Potential announcements from the Bank of Japan that could either calm or exacerbate the bond situation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The market remains on high alert, and caution is warranted in the face of this institutional volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s Black Friday, there&#8217;s still time to take advantage of <strong>50% off or up to $90 in free BTC<\/strong> with the purchase of a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/visiter-ledger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Ledger<\/a> wallet<\/strong>.
