The hottest topic in the market lately is whether Bitcoin can hold steady at the $80,000 mark.
Reaching $80,000 this time is, in the end, all thanks to Trump’s “Freedom Plan.” During the Labor Day holiday, old Trump wanted to push down oil prices; when the market saw risk appetite returning, funds rushed into high-risk assets all at once, and Bitcoin was pushed up to $80,000 like that.
But nobody expected the script to flip even faster than turning pages. After the Fujaïra oil tank exploded, Brent crude oil surged straight to $114, a four-year high, and the “Freedom Plan” was forced to hit the pause button. As the US–Iran chess match grows more intense, global markets have shifted back from “peaceful times” to a high-volatility mode.
Now, everyone is most stuck on three things:
First, how long can this pause window of the “Freedom Plan” really last? To be honest, if energy prices can’t be contained, the plan could completely fall apart at any time—unless the Middle East suddenly stops stirring up trouble;
Second, Oman is going to hold talks on the nuclear issue next—will Iran soften its stance on enriched uranium? If it does, oil prices could turn downward, and asset prices would change their tune accordingly; if it continues to tough it out, oil prices would still have to go up to the sky;
Third, where do oil prices and risk assets go next, and what are you planning to do with it yourself? Personally, I think crude oil will definitely keep wobbling at high levels in the short term. Whether Bitcoin can stay stable depends entirely on whether the geopolitical situation gives it a hand. In terms of strategy, don’t go all-in and hard-hedge—keeping some backup is more solid. In any case, these days, watching what happens to oil prices and what’s going on in the Middle East is more important than looking at a candlestick chart.$BTC
