Crude prices jumped today as diplomatic friction between Washington and Caracas escalated. The standoff is rattling energy markets, with traders pricing in potential supply disruptions from Venezuela's vast oil reserves. This spike comes at a sensitive moment—global demand remains fragile, yet geopolitical wildcards keep pushing prices upward. For risk assets including crypto, rising energy costs could feed into inflation concerns, potentially shifting Fed policy calculus and impacting liquidity conditions across markets.

Oil prices have risen again, and disagreements among U.S. allies have flared up. Now the energy market is also becoming unpredictable, and our wallets as retail investors are getting emptier. Watching this deal and seeing inflation expectations arise, the Federal Reserve is once again playing psychological games with us. When liquidity tightens, the crypto market immediately struggles to breathe. Oh my God, as soon as the geopolitical card is played, my dreams shrink once more.
