Yes, there’s uncertainty: geopolitics, US shutdown fears, and political noise around Trump. Markets react nervously and move into full risk-off mode. Crypto, as always, gets hit the hardest.
At the same time, something important stands out: oil prices are stabilizing. And that matters. If markets truly expected a major escalation, oil would keep rising. That’s not happening. De-escalation between Iran and the US is clearly being priced in.
What’s moving markets right now is mainly sentiment, not a fundamental crisis. Fear ahead of certainty. Liquidations, positioning, and emotion are pushing prices lower.
And that’s where the paradox appears:
while headlines scream panic, crypto is trading at extremely low, oversold levels. Historically, these are exactly the conditions where opportunities emerge for those who look beyond short-term price action.
