December saw Japanese investors trimming their foreign asset holdings, marking a significant shift in capital allocation strategies. This move reflects broader concerns about currency volatility and global market uncertainties. As institutional players restructure portfolios ahead of year-end, such asset reallocation patterns ripple across markets—affecting liquidity in crypto and traditional finance alike. The timing raises questions: are risk-off sentiments intensifying? Will this capital repatriation trend accelerate into early 2025? Understanding these macro flows helps traders anticipate potential volatility spikes and liquidity crunches across different asset classes.

Japanese traders are reducing their positions. Is liquidity about to collapse... It was obvious all along.

The Japanese are shrinking again. Will this wave of capital return really cause a market crash?

The Japanese have pulled back, now liquidity will be tight... Is the risk-off mode starting again?

On-chain data shows that Japanese institutions are dumping, and this wave of capital return was long overdue, as expected.

Are Japanese investors starting to withdraw their funds? This will tighten liquidity, so we need to keep a close eye on the market in January.

Are the Japanese starting to withdraw their investments? Crypto is about to tremble, with so many pitfalls to step into by the end of the year.

Japanese investors are reducing their positions? This move is a bit timid, everyone is running before the end of the year...
