Cross-Asset Allocation Guide—The Trio of BTC, Crude Oil, and Gold

On June 15, the US-Iran agreement injected significant volatility into three major asset categories: cryptocurrencies, crude oil, and precious metals. How should you rationally position yourself in this round of market moves? Below are the investment logic and operational ideas for these three asset categories: BTC, crude oil, and gold.

**BTC Core Judgment:** Rebound rather than reversal—stay flexible in a range-bound market. The market’s mainstream baseline scenario is a trading range of **$65,000–$68,000**, waiting for the negotiation details on **June 19**. If the agreement exceeds expectations—for example, the US announces removing Iran from the sanctions list—the probability of BTC breaking through **$75,000** will increase significantly. Currently, almost all market variables point to a “peace dividend,” and the long side is already crowded. **Recommendation:** Don’t chase the price higher. Take profits in stages, keep cash on hand, and wait to enter again after a pullback to **$60,000** confirms support.

**Crude Oil Core Judgment:** Don’t catch a falling knife—wait for a triple bottom. A crude oil drop of more than **4%** has only priced in the expectation of “Strait opening,” but it has not priced in the actual pace of supply recovery—**Iran** needs **3–6 months** to repair oil fields and tankers. As long as the volume of crude oil passing through the Strait of Hormuz reaches **60%–70%** of pre-war levels, it could lead to oversupply in the market. **Recommendation:** Don’t go long crude oil futures or ETFs. You may sell out-of-the-money crude oil put options to earn premiums, or focus on natural gas companies that are less affected by geopolitical risks.

**Gold Core Judgment:** Follow the trend and avoid chasing the price higher. The momentum behind gold breaking through **$4,300** has shifted from “safe haven” to a structural logic of “weakened US dollar confidence + central bank gold purchases.” Central bank gold purchases provide rigid buying demand. Goldman Sachs expects the gold price to rise to **$5,400** by the end of **2026**. **Recommendation:** For existing positions, move the stop-loss up to **$4,200**. For new entries, wait for a pullback to the **$4,150–$4,180** area and buy gold ETFs or physical gold bars in stages.

The current market’s three-factor resonance—BTC supported by macro liquidity expectations, crude oil suppressed by the supply-recovery pace, and gold driven by long-term logic—makes this cross-asset volatility extremely rare. The operational logic for each asset class differs. Not chasing highs in BTC, not rushing to catch falling knives with crude oil, and building positions in gold during pullbacks are the most reliable ways to handle the “peace agreement” market.
