Yen crashes to 40-year low as crypto bleeds out — rotate into gold miners as the
Thesis
The combination of the yen hitting a 40-year low and Bitcoin bleeding near $60K with record ETF outflows points to broad risk aversion. When major fiat currencies destabilize and speculative digital assets sell off heavily, large institutional money typically rotates into physical gold. A weakening yen specifically signals global currency stress, which historically drives safe-haven demand. By pairing these macro headwinds, we can target gold miners (via GDX) to capture the defensive rotation.
Strategy approach
Build a rule-based strategy that enters long GDX on D1 when USDJPY makes a 20-day high and Bitcoin (BTCUSD) drops more than 2% on the same day, with a 21-day max hold and a 6% trailing stop.
