🌍 Second night in a row of U.S. strikes on Iran. ~50 Tomahawk missiles launched at Iranian military installations, including air defense systems.
🔴 Iran retaliated with missiles towards U.S. bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. Kuwait temporarily closed its airspace. Jordan intercepted 20 missiles.
🚢 Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz closed to all ships — the world's most critical oil chokepoint. About 20% of global oil flows through this strait.
🛢️ Brent Crude: $92.70/barrel — below the peak of $125 in April, BUT FGE analysts warn that the price could exceed $150 if Hormuz remains closed until August.

📊 WHAT IT MEANS FOR MARKETS:
⚠️ Accelerated energy inflation — yesterday's CPI already showed 60%+ of inflation coming from energy. Hormuz closed = major energy shock.
⚠️ Fed under pressure — oil at $150 = inflation towards 5-6% = Fed forced to raise rates = pressure on all risk assets including crypto.
⚠️ Risk-off macro — in major geopolitical conflicts, the first reflex of institutions is to sell volatile assets and buy dollars and bonds.
🟡 The only positive scenario for crypto — if the war escalates severely, the narrative of "Bitcoin as an anti-system refuge" may return. Historically, however, in the early days of conflict, crypto drops along with traditional markets.

🧠 CONCLUSION FOR TRADERS:
BTC at $62,800 in an extremely fragile geopolitical context. The Fed meeting on June 17 gains even more importance now.
🔴 Negative scenario: Hormuz remains closed → oil spikes to $120-150 → inflation surges → Fed goes hawkish → BTC retests $58,000-60,000.
🟢 Positive scenario: Negotiations succeed in 48-72h → extended ceasefire → oil drops → markets stabilize → BTC might test $65,000-68,000.
⚙️ In such a context — small position sizes, respect stop losses, do not enter high leverage until the situation clarifies.
