Bitcoin hit $78,800 and is nearing $80,000 — the most significant psychological level of the year. But a new variable has stalled the breakout: the Pentagon informed Congress in a classified session that clearing the mines in the Strait of Hormuz could take at least 6 months. WTI crude surged to $95 — up from $79 last week — and the 10-year bond yields rose to 4.32%. Sticky inflation = Fed has no room to cut rates.

💣 BOMBSHELL ALERT:
$BTC continues to receive the fastest ETF inflow pace in a month according to Glassnode. USDT hit a historical market cap of $188.88 billion today — the largest liquidity store ready to enter the crypto market in history. Over 100 crypto firms — including Coinbase, Ripple, and a2 — sent a letter to the Senate demanding approval of the CLARITY Act before May. Oil at $95 is macro noise. $188 billion in USDT waiting is the structural signal.
