2026 Performance Check:
$BTC down to $964 from $1,000 (Jan 1)
Brent Oil absolutely ripping: +75% → $1,752
S&P 500: +12.6% → $1,126
Gold flat at $990
Why Oil mogged everything? Strait of Hormuz closure.
Volatility:
Oil: 63% annualized
$BTC: 47% annualized
Oil became the new chaos trade. $BTC got cucked by macro risk-off. If geopolitical risk fades, watch for mean reversion into risk assets.
