🛢️ OIL JUST SURGED PAST $105 — HERE'S HOW IT IMPACTS $BTC
Brent crude is holding above $105 per barrel amid Strait of Hormuz disruptions .
WHY THIS MATTERS FOR CRYPTO:
Higher oil prices = higher inflation = higher interest rates.
Traders have now fully priced out any Fed rate cuts for 2026 .
Before the Iran war? Markets expected two cuts. Now? Zero.
THE CHAIN REACTION:
Oil up → Inflation up → Rates higher → Liquidity tighter → Risk assets under pressure.
But here's what's different this time:
Bitcoin ETFs saw $1.53B inflows in March — despite the macro headwinds .
Gold? Down 17% since war began .
The narrative is shifting. Institutions are choosing Bitcoin over gold in this environment.
WHAT TO WATCH:
If oil stays above $105 → rates stay higher → BTC stays range-bound.
If ceasefire happens → oil drops → BTC relief rally toward $73,500.
