The order hasn't opened yet, and Hormuz is trending again

Now every day, watching geopolitical relations feels like scrolling through a social feed, one update after another, before the order even opens, a new geopolitical message arrives.

Just after opening the exchange, Bahrain is on alert, Iran denies hitting the UAE, U.S. military says "Iran used cruise missiles to attack merchant ships and warships"… then comes another statement: "The key is to first let the ships leave Hormuz, then gradually consider letting them in."

Kick them out first, then discuss letting them in. During this time window, will oil prices jump? Will freight rates rise?

It feels like this geopolitical issue is gradually turning into a plunder of the financial markets.
Interestingly, even the crypto world is being pulled into the atmosphere—once the news breaks, mainstream coins like BTC, ETH, SOL, their minute-by-minute charts all tremble, and both longs and shorts suffer together.

You ask, what do those small boats Iran has have to do with Bitcoin addresses?
Nothing.
But the news spreads fast, algorithms scan quickly, and longs and shorts explode even faster.

Geopolitics is increasingly like a "paid DLC" specially designed for volatility.
And retail investors? The order hasn't even opened, and their phones keep vibrating nonstop.
In the end, they can only quietly lower their leverage—every time Hormuz trends, the crypto market has to catch its breath again.
