Today’s major commodities market saw a notable pullback. WTI crude oil futures fell 3% intraday, dropping below the key integer level of $98 per barrel in one move. Meanwhile, Brent crude also slid 2.5%, temporarily trading at $102.31 per barrel. At the same time, during the G20 Energy Summit taking place in Houston, reports emerged that Venezuela is planning to export about 150,000 tons of aluminum produced by the state-owned enterprise Venalum to the United States, suggesting that global energy and raw-material supply-chain tensions are showing marginal easing.

From a technical structure and fundamentals perspective, oil prices falling below the $100 mark and undergoing a deep pullback directly alleviates the stubborn high-inflation expectations that have lingered recently. Previously, the market broadly worried that elevated energy prices would reinforce the tightening path of major central banks. However, the gradual improvement on the supply side of commodities, together with the breakdown-driven decline in oil prices, provides strong data support for a near-term peak in macro inflation indicators.

In traditional financial markets, the sharp drop in crude oil prices will effectively limit the upward room for U.S. Treasury yields, thereby easing the dollar index’s near-term upside momentum. This creates a technical rebound window for improving risk appetite across asset classes. Valuation pressure on risk assets such as U.S. stocks is significantly reduced, and market liquidity preference is showing signs of a positive rebalancing.

For the crypto market, macro liquidity becoming marginally looser as energy inflation cools is a clear bullish catalyst. As the central expectation for rates that suppress valuations moves lower, risk assets led by $BTC are likely to see continued inflows of long-side capital. As long as macro inflation pressure does not repeatedly reaccelerate, the crypto market’s technical bottom support is likely to become more solid, and upside rebound momentum in the next phase is worth期待.
