Oil, War Risk, and Liquidity: How Markets Are Preparing for What’s Next
Tensions in the Middle East have reached a critical point after Donald Trump announced a 10-day pause on possible strikes involving Iran. Markets are now holding back, trying to figure out whether this pause is a real chance for diplomacy or just a strategic delay before things heat up again.
The key factor here is the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage that carries a large share of the world’s oil supply. Any disruption here doesn’t just affect oil prices—it impacts the whole economic pic

Rising Oil, Stronger Dollar, Softer Crypto: A Macro Breakdown
Oil prices have climbed back above $100 as tensions rise following Donald Trump’s deadline for talks with Iran. This is causing pressure not just on oil markets but across the global financial landscape, and crypto is feeling the effects.
The main concern is the situation near the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for a big part of the world’s oil supply. Any disruption there tends to push oil prices up.
When oil gets more expensive, it leads to higher fuel and transport costs, which often drive inflation up. This usually prompts

Solana Under Pressure — Bears Still in Control
Solana (SOL) is currently trading around $86 after a 6% drop, and the overall trend still points downward. The price is moving within a clear downward channel, showing lower highs and lower lows.
The recent bounce from the $68–70 support area looks weak and is losing momentum. The price struggles to get past the $92–95 resistance, which appears quite strong. This suggests the upward move is likely just a short-term bounce rather than a true reversal.
Data from CoinGlass indicates continued bearish pressure. Open Interest has increased by 3% to $5.
