Oil prices surge, does Bitcoin kneel first? The most dangerous signals behind this round of market movement


Last night, the biggest loss was not altcoins.
It was those who firmly believe that “BTC has completely detached from macro factors.”
As soon as something happened in the Strait of Hormuz, Bitcoin immediately proved with action:
“Now, it’s also a global risk asset.”
After the US military intercepted an Iranian attack, the global market’s first reaction was to seek safety.
Gold surged, crude oil skyrocketed, US stocks pulled back, and BTC directly fell below $80k.
Why?
Because now, Wall Street’s capital share is increasing.
ETF funds, institutional quant funds, and macro funds are now deeply involved in BTC trading.
It’s no longer just “a game for the crypto circle.”
There are two key issues now:
First, will the US and Iran continue to escalate?
Currently, both sides are in a “limited conflict” stage.
Neither dares to truly shut down the Strait of Hormuz, because that would directly ignite global inflation.
Second, will the non-farm payrolls report trigger a secondary shock?
If tonight’s employment data remains strong, the market will think:
“The US economy is not cooling down at all, and the Federal Reserve is not in a hurry to cut rates.”
This will directly suppress BTC valuation.
Interestingly, if the data is too poor, the market will worry about a recession.
So now, the market has entered a “both sides are uncomfortable” mode.
From a trading perspective, around $80k is actually a cost zone for a large amount of ETF funds.
Once the panic subsides, institutions might instead buy at low levels.
In other words:
Retail investors see war,
Institutions see discounts.
