Bitcoin Under MAJOR Pressure As Trump Tensions Peak! What Happens Next?

#bitcoin #oilcrisis #finance
Bitcoin keeps running into a wall of selling above $70K — roughly $20M/hour in profit-taking — and now that wall has geopolitical weight behind it after the Islamabad peace talks collapsed, Iran’s Strait of Hormuz stays effectively closed, and Trump ordered a naval blockade of Iranian ports starting this morning. That’s pushing oil toward $100/barrel and forcing tanker traffic into a full reroute away from the Gulf, which benefits US energy exports but hammers Japan, South Korea, and India hardest. Meanwhile the dollar’s long-term slide continues — now just 46% of global FX and gold reserves, a 26-year low — even as M2 keeps expanding at 4.8% YoY, and central bank gold holdings have officially eclipsed US Treasury holdings for the first time since ’96. And on the crypto side, the WLFI vs. Justin Sun feud is turning into a full legal brawl over a $75M loan dispute, backdoor token blacklisting, and accusations flying both ways — exactly the kind of circus that undermines crypto’s push for institutional credibility.
