V. Outlook

Bitcoin is holding near 79,000 dollars on thin volume and steady miner hashrate, which means the market has absorbed recent oil-driven inflation without breaking lower or forcing capitulation. The ignored risk is that prolonged Hormuz closure keeps energy costs elevated, steepening the yield curve and tightening dollar liquidity for risk assets even as diplomatic language improves. The hard question is whether exchange inflows stay contained long enough for demand to reappear or whether they turn into sustained distribution once the next macro data print arrives.
