Crypto is almost flat this morning.
Geopolitical risk isn’t.**
Since midnight in Türkiye:
BTC: $77,170 → $77,137 | -0.04%
ETH: $2,520.83 → $2,513.61 | -0.29%
Basically flat.
But Reuters reports a new attack on shipping around the Strait of Hormuz, adding another layer of risk to already stressed global energy supply routes.
The Strait is one of the world’s most important oil transit points.
So the chain to watch is:
Geopolitical escalation
→ oil supply risk
→ higher energy prices
→ inflation pressure
→ tighter financial conditions
Crypto hasn’t reacted aggressively yet.
That’s exactly why this matters.
Sometimes the signal isn’t the move.
It’s an asset staying almost unchanged despite a new macro shock.
If energy prices accelerate again, BTC’s reaction around the $77K area becomes much more important.
