Ceasefire talk with Iran is moving markets — but is this real or just a pause?
Trump signaling a possible 2-week pause tied to reopening the Strait of Hormuz is already shifting market expectations. That strait alone handles ~20% of global oil flows, so even the idea of de-escalation immediately changes positioning across oil, currencies, and risk assets.
What’s interesting is the mix: oil pulling back, dollar weakening, while crypto and gold catch bids. Feels like the market isn’t pricing “peace” yet — just less immediate chaos.
Curious how people here see it: bullish for BTC if tensions cool, or does crypto actually benefit more from continued instability?
