The Japanese Yen is hitting its weakest levels against the US Dollar in decades—we're talking back-to-the-90s territory. This isn't just currency trivia; it reshapes how traders think about carry trades and global liquidity flows.
Here's what's catching attention: analysts are openly talking about breaching the ¥160 mark in 2026, potentially going even further. When major fiat currencies swing this dramatically, it typically ripples through risk assets, including the crypto market. The weakening Yen often correlates with increased appetite for higher-yield investments—something worth monitoring if you're tracking macro trends.

The yen has really collapsed this time... Daring to say 160, do they want to play Japanese people to death? Carry trade is really fun but also extremely risky. One black swan event could bring the entire market to its knees.

Is the Japanese Yen starting to weaken again? The carry trade players should be getting restless now.

The Japanese Yen is really struggling this time... What will happen after breaking the 160 level, will the crypto market follow with a surge?

Is the Japanese Yen breaking a ten-year low? This could blow up arbitrage trades, and carry trade players will have to recalculate... Can the 160 level really be broken? It feels like 2026 is still early.

The Japanese Yen has really collapsed this time... Carry trade is about to take off, breaking 160 next year is certain. By then, funds will be pouring into high yields, and the crypto circle will be the big winner.
