BTCCSquare news:

Brent crude's 4% collapse to $83.79 triggered a flight to crypto stores of value, with Bitcoin climbing 2.3% as the US-Iran Hormuz deal reduced geopolitical risk premiums. The Strait's reopening removes a key supply chain bottleneck that had driven institutional interest in energy-backed tokens like OIL and CGAS.

Market makers on Binance and Bybit reported unusual ETH/stablecoin volume spikes during the announcement, suggesting algorithmic traders rebalanced portfolios. 'When black swans fade, crypto becomes the gamma squeeze,' noted one Singapore-based OTC desk manager.

Memecoins defied the risk-on shift - PEPE and BONK rallied 7% amid speculative flows. Analysts attribute this to retail traders interpreting cheaper energy costs as bullish for mining profitability.
