The Lead

Stagflationary pressure from the Iran naval blockade now sets the tone for all markets. Brent crude sits above one hundred seven dollars while central banks hold rates with officials signaling possible tightening. Bitcoin pushed to eighty thousand dollars through short covering and ongoing exchange outflows that confirm whale accumulation. Moderate MVRV limits selling incentive yet sentiment at fear levels shows no retail follow through. Most overlook how sustained hashrate near nine hundred fifty exahashes and profitable miners reflect underlying resilience that current prices fail to price in. This durability clashes with commodity driven yields and absent policy relief. Geopolitics expands Bitcoin use outside traditional rails without yet shifting broader flows. Accumulation may prove fleeting if inflation locks rates higher. Whether Bitcoin truly decouples in extended stagflation has no clean answer.
