Bitcoin plunged 6.9% to $66,408 after MicroStrategy disclosed it sold BTC to fund dividends, breaking its never-sell stance, while capital rotated into AI chips.

The MicroStrategy signal, renewed dollar strength, and sticky-inflation Fed fears have together broken crypto's momentum.

February's $60,000 low is back in play; $64,000 is the first support that needs to hold.

USD/JPY pushed to 159.88, within a whisker of its 52-week high, as yield differentials and BoJ caution kept the yen pinned.

With US10Y at 4.45% and the BoJ slow to tighten, carry strongly favors the dollar — but intervention risk rises near 160.

160.00 is the psychological and intervention trigger; a clean break targets 161.50, while jawboning could snap it back.
