🔴 Oil (Brent ~$93) rises +35% in 1 year due to U.S. sanctions on Iran and tension in the Middle East.#
· Inflation + high rates: Expensive oil = CPI up. The Fed keeps rates high for longer = scarce liquidity = a cap on BTC and altcoins.
· Strong dollar: Oil in dollars supports the DXY. BTC’s inverse correlation with the dollar remains.
· Safe haven vs. risk: If oil keeps rising, gold and BTC as a store of value gain attention, but in the face of extreme volatility, investors prefer cash.
📉 Key to watch: If Brent breaks $100, the crypto market could correct sharply due to recession fears. If it falls to $85, monetary relief = a bullish rally for BTC.
