Gold, oil, and SpaceX's IPO: the Bermuda triangle just closed — so what did crypto do?
This week felt like three macro storylines collided at once, and as a trader I've been trying to read what it actually means for our market.
Start with gold. After a brutal correction earlier this year, spot gold is now trading near $4,500, still up roughly 30% year-over-year despite the pullback. The twist is that the same Iran conflict that should have made gold shine actually hurt it — oil-driven inflation pushed out Fed rate cut expectations and even put hike odds on the table, strengthening the dollar against gold's favor.
Then oil. Brent crude dropped about 2% to $88.50 as Iran tensions eased, easing some of the inflation pressure that had been driving the "higher for longer" narrative on rates.
And of course, SpaceX. The company priced its IPO at $135 a share, raising $75 billion in the largest IPO in history with an initial market cap of $1.78 trillion — and the stock proceeded to rip on debut.
So with gold cooling, oil sliding, and the biggest IPO ever sucking up liquidity, what did crypto actually do?
Mostly: it stalled, then bounced. Bitcoin had been trading around $63,500, up about 2.5% over 24 hours, while the Nasdaq jumped 2.4% and the S&P 500 rose 1.8% on Iran de-escalation hopes. Over the trailing week though, BTC barely moved — up only about 0.43%, essentially stuck while all attention went to the SpaceX listing. Some analysts even argue the SpaceX IPO itself was quietly draining speculative capital away from crypto in the weeks leading up to it.
On the macro side, the Fed remains boxed in. With May's inflation pressure driven almost entirely by energy costs rather than broad-based price growth, the Fed can't really fix an oil shock by hiking rates — but it also can't easily cut while headline inflation runs hot.
My read: nothing here is bearish for crypto long-term, but it's a "wait and see" market right now. Gold needs the war to actually end to rally again. Oil needs the ceasefire to hold. And crypto needs liquidity to rotate back once the SpaceX dust settles. Until one of those dominoes falls cleanly, expect range-bound, headline-driven price action rather than a clear trend.
Not financial advice — just how I'm reading the board this week.#SpaceXIPOUSStocksOpenHigher #CryptoMarkets #bitcoin
