Central bank policies are truly diverging right now. The Fed has started cutting rates, while the Bank of Japan is hiking rates instead—these two moves have directly impacted yen carry trades. Capital flows are shifting, triggering a wave of sell-offs in major assets. The crypto market has been especially volatile in the past couple of days, with liquidation risks for leveraged positions spiking sharply. Simply put, this round of global monetary policy misalignment is shifting risk from financial markets to the entire asset price system. No one has figured out how to play this game yet.

I'm about to crash again as an experienced trader. The Fed is cutting rates while the Bank of Japan is raising them—this is basically setting traps for us retail investors!

Japan is raising interest rates while the Fed is cutting them. These two are really working against each other. My leverage is about to scare me to death.

As soon as the Fed cuts interest rates, Japan does the opposite. This timing is really incredible. I just want to see who will hold out first next.
