Crypto's safe-haven narrative flexes as Bitcoin digs in at make-or-break levels. Meanwhile, oil 'doomers' left clutching their spreadsheets after another false dawn.

Bitcoin: The Unshaken

No fancy footwork—just raw hodler conviction keeping BTC above the line in the sand. Forget 'stablecoins'; this is stability with teeth.

Oil's Comedy of Errors

Brent and WTI played their usual game of 'fake breakout, real heartbreak.' Traders now eyeing rig counts like astrology charts. (Pro tip: Maybe just buy the dip?)

Closing thought: When your 'inflation hedge' needs a hedge, it's time to admit crypto's the only asset class that doesn't bore investors to tears—or bankruptcy.

BTC holds key support

All this means that the much-feared oil price spike may not materialize soon, which could help BTC and other risk assets avoid a sell-off. A big surge in oil would increase the risk of major economies slipping into stagflation, the worst outcome for most assets, including bitcoin.

BTC's chart shows that bears failed to establish a foothold below the horizontal support at $100,430 on Sunday. Buyers stepped in around that level on June 5, taking prices higher to $110,000 in subsequent days.

Oil's muted reaction suggests the potential for history to repeat itself. On the flip side, acceptance under the support would shift the focus to the confluence of the 100- and 200-day simple moving averages at around $95,900.
