🚨BREAKING: IRAN AND USA EDGE AGAIN The latest U.S. Iran strikes on oil tankers are turning the Strait of Hormuz into an even bigger risk for global markets. With tanker traffic falling and oil pushing toward $100, investors are once again facing a serious inflation shock. #usirantradetankerstrikesescalate For crypto, I think the short-term reaction is more likely to be negative. Higher oil prices can keep inflation expectations elevated, making central banks less willing to ease policy. That usually hurts Bitcoin and especially high risk altcoins. However, I don’t see this as automatically bearish for crypto in the longer term. If geopolitical tensions continue to weaken confidence in traditional markets and currencies, Bitcoin could eventually attract more demand as an alternative asset. For now, I would expect volatility first, bullish momentum later if the conflict continues to escalate.
