Iran Vows to Block the Strait of Hormuz! How long can BTC $64,732.26 hold on?
💡 Bearish Warning: Oil prices surge, lifting U.S. Treasury yields and directly压压 (suppressing) the valuations of BTC and other crypto assets.
Put simply, the transmission path is very clear: Iran causes trouble → oil prices spike → the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield jumps to 4.73% → macro liquidity tightens → BTC comes under pressure. A 1.4% oil rise may seem unrelated to the crypto space, but the real killer is that 4.73% yield number. When you do the math, isn’t a “no-brainer” 4.73% interest in the bond market more attractive? Why would money take on the high volatility risk by moving into crypto?
In one sentence
Iran threatens to block the strait, pushing oil higher; U.S. Treasury yields surge—BTC $64,732.26 is trading in a narrow range and faces macro “bloodletting” pressure.
What’s going on
Guys, the market before the weekend was so dull it was putting everyone to sleep. BTC at $64,732.26 was basically flat, down just 0.1% (slightly). ETH around $1,912.4 barely moved. The whole market seemed to be waiting for Friday’s Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) data.
But overnight, something came up. Reports said Iran is planning trouble in the Strait of Hormuz—restricting the passage of U.S. and Israeli ships—and demanding compensation from countries it deems hostile. The moment the news hit, Brent crude immediately jumped 1.4% to $83.61.
This is a geopolitical flashpoint in itself, but what’s truly frightening is the chain reaction: when oil rises, inflation expectations climb, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rockets straight to 4.73%.
Market impact
Short term: Money is running toward safe-haven assets, not toward crypto. The combo of rising oil prices + surging yields is a real bearish factor for liquidity-sensitive assets—namely the BTC and ETH we hold. On-chain data shows that big players are still watching from the sidelines, with no clear buy-entry signals.
Medium term: Friday’s NFP is the real catalyst. If employment data stays strong, rate-cut expectations for the Fed will be completely killed, yields will likely climb further, and BTC breaking out of the current deadlock is basically unlikely. Conversely, if the data disappoints, rate-cut expectations return—that would be the genuine turnaround opportunity.
My view
Honestly, I wouldn’t bet big at this level. BTC $64,732.26 may look as steady as an old dog, but there’s extremely heavy sell pressure overhead. With oil prices and yields both dealing a one-two blow, it’s likely to test support to the downside. My own position has already been cut to 30%; I’d rather miss the move than go heavy and “hold the bag” ahead of NFP. ETH $1,912.4 is weaker still—there hasn’t even been a decent bounce. Remember this: sideways action without volume is often a continuation signal in a downtrend.
