Recent developments in the Middle East have stirred up the energy market. Brent crude oil has risen by 11% over the past five days, reaching $66.46. As geopolitical tensions once again influence global energy prices, investors are beginning to closely monitor macroeconomic risks. Such fluctuations are also important for understanding the correlation between traditional assets and the crypto market.

A flare-up in the Middle East situation causes oil prices to soar. We've seen this pattern too many times. An 11% increase, traditional markets go crazy, but can crypto remain unaffected? If you don't believe it, honestly, the correlation is becoming stronger and stronger.

Whenever the geopolitical situation shifts, traditional assets follow suit... This wave of oil price increases is just the reference indicator for my bear market arbitrage.

Whenever the Middle East situation shifts, oil prices soar... Is this 11% increase serious? It feels like BTC should follow suit.

Traditional energy prices surge again, causing disruption. Now crypto is following suit, really frustrating. This is what risk assets look like—when geopolitical issues sneeze, the whole world catches a cold. A 11% increase isn't much, but the key is this correlation... BTC really can't escape macro influences. The Middle East is causing trouble again; I think I need to shake up my investment portfolio. The recent rally in the energy sector feels like it's destroying the safe-haven properties of the crypto market. It's both geopolitical issues and energy price hikes... investors are having a tough time. A little stir from the spoon, and all assets have to move.

According to the relevant discussion in the white paper, the correlation coefficient between traditional energy price fluctuations and crypto assets has already exceeded the critical value of 0.7. What does this mean? Macro liquidity exhaustion, everyone.

The Middle East is causing trouble again, oil prices are soaring, and now traditional finance and the crypto world are about to dance together... I've always said that those who pay attention to geopolitical risk are the real winners.
