🌙 Late-Night Recap | Oil Prices Rattle the World, $BTC Briefly Falls Below 84K

Geopolitics was tonight’s main focus: Iran’s Revolutionary Guard announced it would “soon” block the “illegal shipping lanes” in the Strait of Hormuz. There have been as many as 9 tanker attacks this month, sending oil prices soaring. $BTC briefly fell below $84,000—the level analysts had marked as the bears’ takeover point. The dollar and U.S. Treasuries strengthened in tandem, with 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields climbing to their highest levels since 2002.

UBS raised its oil price forecasts accordingly: Brent at $100 and WTI at $96 by year-end. Safe-haven funds clearly flowed into gold: World Gold Council data shows gold ETFs attracted a record $31 billion in the third quarter.

But there were bright spots amid the gloom: Winklevoss submitted an S-1 filing to the SEC for a spot $ZEC ETF, with plans to list it on Nasdaq; $INJ scored three positive developments in one week: a Robinhood listing, a staking ETF application, and 3 billion on-chain transactions.

Macroeconomic pressure versus crypto’s institutionalization—the tug-of-war between bulls and bears continues. If you’re holding positions late into the night, manage your exposure carefully.
