Bitcoin's 52-Week Correlation with USD/JPY Plunges to -0.90, Challenging the 'Carry Trade' Theory
30.06.2026 10:48
Bitcoin's 52-week rolling correlation with the USD/JPY currency pair has dropped to -0.90, a historically low level that undermines the popular 'carry trade' theory. This negative correlation suggests that Bitcoin (BTC) is increasingly moving inversely to the Japanese yen, potentially acting as a hedge against yen weakness. The data indicates that the traditional assumption of Bitcoin benefiting from carry trade dynamics is weakening, as BTC's price behavior diverges sharply from yen-funded speculative flows. Analysts are now reassessing Bitcoin's role in global macro portfolios amid shifting forex correlations.
