🚨 Macro Alert: Oil Is Rallying — And That’s Bad News for Bitcoin 🚨

First gold, then silver… and now oil is surging. For Bitcoin bulls, this macro setup is getting tougher by the day.

🔥 What’s Happening?

WTI crude ⬆️ 12% this month → $64.30 (highest since Sept)

Brent crude ⬆️ to $68.22

Energy prices are rising just as markets were hoping for rate cuts

📉 Why This Hurts Bitcoin

Bitcoin bulls are betting on lower inflation + faster Fed rate cuts to push BTC higher.

But rising oil prices threaten that narrative.

Here’s the chain reaction:

🛢️ Higher oil → higher transport & production costs

🛒 Costs pass to consumers → inflation rises

💼 Workers demand higher wages

🔁 Inflation loop strengthens

🏦 Central banks delay or stop rate cuts

📌 The Fed itself admits oil price pass-through to inflation is “economically and statistically significant.”

🏦 Fed Signals = Caution

Fed kept rates unchanged at 4.5%–4.75%

Inflation still described as “somewhat elevated”

ING: Fed sounds more confident that easing is near its end

➡️ Translation: No rush to cut rates

Historically, this is not friendly for risk assets.

📉 Reminder: In 2022, BTC fell 64% during aggressive Fed tightening.

📊 Bitcoin Context

BTC peak (Oct): $126,000+

Current price: ~$87,800

Bulls need liquidity. Oil rally works against that.

🌍 Why Is Oil Rising?

⚠️ Geopolitical risk: US–Iran tensions escalating

🪖 Trump hints at military action

📉 US oil inventories fell by 2.3M barrels (EIA data)

Demand > Supply = price pressure

🧠 Big Picture

Gold up.

Silver up.

Oil up.

👉 Capital is flowing into inflation hedges, not speculative risk.

Until inflation cools and the Fed clearly pivots, Bitcoin may stay under pressure.

📌 Macro matters. Don’t trade BTC in isolation.
