Brent just smashed back above $90.
While most crypto traders were watching Bitcoin charts, crude quietly reclaimed the psychological level that last lit up inflation fears.
Here’s why it matters right now:
Fresh US strikes on Iranian assets near the Strait of Hormuz Supply risk is back on the table after weeks of relative calm Oil up ~32% year-over-year and climbing again Higher energy prices = stickier inflation pressure = harder path for rate cuts
Risk assets hate this mix. When oil runs and geopolitics heat up, liquidity tends to tighten and speculative flows (yes, crypto) get squeezed first.
$90 isn’t just a number. It’s a reminder that macro still owns the tape.
