Japan and Korean stock markets hitting circuit breakers. Bitcoin tapping below $54k.

Basically it’s goblin-land in terms of western liquidity on a Sunday night as eastern stuff blows up.
The Nikkei is gearing up for a big drop today (their Monday morning). We'll see how it closes, but it's seemingly the largest 2-day drop in Nikkei history given what happened on Friday.

There's a lot of financial plumbing stuff going on currently. As Japan hikes rates from -0.10% to now 0.25%, they're disrupting the global carry trade, where a lot of global capital is borrowed from Japan and elsewhere in Asia and stuffed into U.S. large cap stonks.

Bitcoin caught up.
