Trump fires another shot on Truth Social: Iran is “making up fake attacks” just to drive oil prices higher before the midterm elections.
Key points: Trump says Iran is doing “everything it can” to push oil prices up before the midterms. “They are even making up fake hits, mines, and everything else.”
The markets are playing along: Brent is up 3% on the day, touching $112.55—the highest since May. Three ships near the Strait of Hormuz caught fire after hitting mines, and the death toll at Dammam airport has risen to two.
Crypto, meanwhile, is moving in the opposite direction to oil: BTC at $81,418 (-3.75%), ETH at $2,387 (-4.68%). Liquidations across the market totaled $374 million over the past 24 hours, with longs accounting for $317 million.
My take? Half of this is aimed at voters, and half at oil prices. Crypto traders get the worst of it: other people go to war, oil prices rise, and you pay the bill. This script hasn’t changed in five years.
So here’s the question: if oil really surges to $130, will BTC fall below $80,000 first, or rebound to $85,000?
