Markets
What to know:
- Bitcoin had a mini identity crisis, plummeting to $65,112-its lowest since the February “Oops!” moment-before saying “Just kidding!” and bouncing back above $67,000 when Asian markets decided to wake up and stretch.
- Meanwhile, in the land of geopolitics, Houthi rebels decided to crash the party, leading to U.S. troops showing up like they forgot their invitation, and Iranian attacks on aluminum facilities. Because why not? Brent crude now feels like it’s at a fancy nightclub priced at about $115 a barrel.
- Bitcoin’s little dip below its recent trend of higher lows has everyone glued to their screens, wondering if this is just a bump in the road or an all-out dumpster fire. And with oil and metal prices soaring, inflation is throwing a tantrum that could delay the Federal Reserve’s plans for sweet, sweet rate cuts.
The war just got bigger. Bitcoin briefly got smaller. Seriously, it’s like watching a soap opera where the plot twists get more ridiculous by the day.
Bitcoin started its Monday morning with a dramatic dip to $65,112 but recovered to a more respectable $67,402. Talk about a rollercoaster ride!
With a 24-hour range of $65,112 to $67,389, it seems buyers were lurking near $65,000 like teenagers waiting for the pizza delivery guy. That level hasn’t been seen since the war’s opening weekend five weeks ago-so basically ages in crypto time.
Ethereum decided to join the fun with a modest recovery of 2% to $2,044, while Solana and XRP made small gains, proving that even amidst chaos, there’s always someone who shows up to the party. Except Tron, which is the overachiever of the group, up 2.6% in a day. Someone give that token a gold star!
This latest escalation is like the geopolitical version of whack-a-mole. Iran-backed Houthi forces entered the mix (because apparently, everyone needs a side hustle), and more U.S. troops are heading to the Middle East, causing everyone to clutch their pearls in fear of a ground operation.
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal is reporting Trump is contemplating a military operation to snag some uranium from Iran. Because nothing says “Let’s solve this peacefully” like a good ol’ military intervention. And let’s not forget Iran’s little aluminum production spree, which is sending prices soaring like they’re trying to win a race against gas prices.
Brent crude climbed 2.5% to around $115 a barrel, which is just a casual 90% increase for the year. South Korean equities took a nosedive-down 3.2%-and Japan’s Nikkei followed suit, dropping 3.4%. Meanwhile, S&P 500 futures decided to play it cool and were trading flat, suggesting that maybe, just maybe, we won’t all lose our minds today.
That $65,112 low is important, folks. It’s flirting dangerously close to the $64,000 low from Feb. 28, when the whole war drama kicked off. Bitcoin had been building a case for higher lows every week-$64,000 to $66,000 to $68,000 to $69,400 to $70,596. But now? We’re backtracking like a kid caught stealing cookies.
Monday’s dip below $66,000 is the first sign of weakness after weeks of growth. The burning question now is whether Bitcoin can pull itself together and regain its composure or if this marks the beginning of a downward spiral into chaos. Stay tuned, folks!
And as oil sits pretty at $115 and aluminum prices skyrocket, the inflation monster is creeping into industrial supply chains. This means the Fed is in a tighter spot than a pair of skinny jeans after Thanksgiving dinner, and any hopes for a rate cut are getting pushed further away.
