The biggest single day oil crash in history just happened and most people don't understand what it means for crypto yet.
Here is what actually matters. Oil dropping 32% from $119 to $81 in one session changes the inflation picture immediately. Lower energy prices reduce CPI pressure which gives central banks more flexibility on rates. Historically when rate pressure eases risk assets including $BTC and altcoins benefit in the medium term.
Short term the shock creates fear across all markets. Medium term the macro setup quietly improves. Understanding the difference between those two timeframes is what separates panic selling from smart positioning.
