Geopolitical tensions (Middle East, 3rd week) have propelled Brent crude up 26% last week, narrowing 2026 rate cut expectations to just one. Amidst this, crypto shows resilience, outperforming most traditional assets (except crude). Bitcoin (BTC) saw weekly gains, while equities, fixed income, and gold declined. Wintermute's analysis points to renewed institutional interest in crypto: - Coinbase premium up - Increased Bitcoin ETF inflows - Rise in institutional OTC trading However, Wintermute cautions against excessive optimism. BTC faces key resistance at $74k and $80k. With less than 200 days until the cycle low, a cautious stance on gain speed is advised. #BTC #BrentCrude #CryptoNews #MarketUpdate #Wintermute
