Caught the overnight dump on Bitcoin—it briefly tanked to around 65K before bouncing back above 67.5K as Asian markets kicked in. Pretty wild move. The escalation in the Middle East got messier with Houthis now directly involved, fresh U.S. troop deployments, and Iran hitting aluminum facilities. Brent crude spiked to roughly 115 a barrel, which is pushing the whole inflation narrative harder. At the moment BTC is sitting around 72.8K on the latest data, so the recovery from that 65K low is holding so far. The thing that caught my eye though—this is the first time in weeks we've seen Bitcoin actually dip below the pattern of higher lows it's been building since the war started. Every escalation before this, we'd find support higher than the last one. Now we broke that. Technically that's worth watching to see if we get back above that range or if it's the start of something bigger. ETH bounced to 2.24K, SOL holding around 84.78, XRP at 1.36. Nothing shocking there. Tron quietly outperformed the whole major complex though, up a few percent on the week while most others are flat or down. Oil staying elevated and aluminum getting hit directly means this isn't just an energy shock anymore—it's bleeding into industrial supply chains. That makes the Fed's job way harder and probably pushes any rate cuts even further out. Watching to see if that 65K level holds or if we're really breaking the war-time trading range.
