🤔 My Thoughts 
 
 
Well, where do we even start today? The markets are all tumbling, crypto is crashing, and people are going into full on panic mode. Why? Well, it’s all because of the unwinding of the Japanese carry trade. If you don't know what that is, I first sounded the alarm bells on it back in April. 

But this is a good write-up.

Where will the fall end? In my view, we will see a recovery over the next week, then another drop down between late August/early September. 

I don't think we've seen the full effects of the unwinding of carry trade take place.
