Oil prices have reached 85. This person didn’t honor their call—instead, they kept adding.
After the U.S. military attack, WTI rose about 3.2% over the next 24 hours. That account that went long oil was still adding against the trend between 7:30 and 8:00 in the morning, and it also raised the projected share for the “invasion of Iran.”
Once the news came in and the price gapped up, if they didn’t run, it means they’re not betting on a single attack—they’re pricing in something bigger to come.
But adding aggressively at high levels and flipping at low levels are two different things. They were wrong before and cut losses; now they’re wrong and using prior profits to plug the gap. Smart money doesn’t never lose its cool—it just gets quieter when it does.
Around BTC 78,580, up only 0.92%, oil and crypto are still two different worlds.
