🚨 Macro Alert: Strait of Hormuz Tensions Escalate

Iran says the Strait of Hormuz remains open — except for the U.S., Israel, and close allies. This waterway carries ~20% of global oil shipments, so even partial restrictions shake energy markets. If shipping risk rises, oil prices spike → inflation fears increase → risk assets (stocks & crypto) get volatile.

But there’s another side: geopolitical stress often drives liquidity into hedges like gold, oil, and sometimes Bitcoin. Traders should watch energy markets and global shipping news closely — they often lead crypto sentiment during geopolitical shocks.

🎯 Market Target: If oil spikes above $100, expect BTC volatility with upside toward $75K–$80K zone.$XAN $COS $C
