Brent crude oil is trading like a geopolitical asset again, and that is forcing Bitcoin back into a macro test it has not fully resolved.

For a third straight session, oil climbed as the widening US-Israel conflict with Iran revived fears of disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow maritime chokepoint that handles roughly a fifth of global oil consumption flows and significant LNG traffic.

According to data from Oilprice.com, Brent rose more than $3 to around $80.9 a barrel after topping $82 intraday, its highest level since January 2025, while WTI hovered near $73.8.

At the same time, the New York Fed conducted $3.0 billion in overnight repos backed by Treasury collateral on March 2, temporarily adding reserves to the banking system. Overnight reverse repos that day totaled $0.627 billion, producing a net effect of about +$2.373 billion in temporary reserve support.

Those two developments, a renewed oil shock and a small but closely watched reserve injection, are colliding in Bitcoin.

Traditional investors buying Strategy shares does not confirm Bitcoin approval, Scott Melker notes
Scott Melker addresses a common belief among Bitcoin supporters that traditional investors purchasing shares of Strategy indicates clear support for Bitcoin.

According to Melker, an analyst clarifies that this is not necessarily the case, challenging the assumption about investor sentiment.

Melker’s perspective contributes to a nuanced dialogue surrounding institutional involvement in cryptocurrencies—an area in which he has previously highlighted cautionary signals, such as his analysis of a bearish Bitcoin indicator that raised concerns about market volatility. Similar attention to shifts in traditional assets has been evident in his coverage of a gold price pullback, where he identified buying opportunities amid uncertainty, reinforcing his reputation for balanced market assessments.

Bitcoin climbed back above $70,000 Tuesday as crude oil staged a sharp reversal, easing near-term fears of accelerating inflation and giving digital asset markets room to recover.

According to CryptoSlate's data, the largest digital currency jumped over 5% in the last 24 hours, peaking at around $71,164 after slipping below $68,000 earlier in the session.

Brent crude fell more than 6% to around $90 a barrel, retracing much of the previous day's surge that had briefly pushed the international benchmark to nearly $120. West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the US benchmark, fell by a similar margin as traders reassessed how long a geopolitical premium in energy markets could hold.

The synchronized moves in crude and crypto reflect how tightly Bitcoin's short-term price action has become linked to macro liquidity signals.

When oil surged on March 9, investors began pricing in the possibility that renewed energy inflation would delay Federal Reserve rate cuts, tightening the financial conditions that have supported risk assets throughout this cycle.

Economists currently estimate that December core PCE is between 0.3% and 0.4% month over month, implying approximately 3.0% year over year.

The Cleveland Fed's nowcast tracks January 2026 core PCE at roughly 2.76% year-over-year. The value is still above the Federal Reserve's 2% target, but not accelerating into the mid-3% range that would prompt an immediate hawkish pivot.

Government shutdown disrupted data collection and necessitated the BEA's approximation of missing CPI inputs for October's PCE report. Revision risk is higher than usual, which means the first print on Feb. 20 might not be the final word.

Hong Kong is expected to grant the first batch of stablecoin issuer licenses within two weeks, reportedly choosing HSBC and Standard Chartered as the first companies to obtain the long-awaited approval. HSBC, Standard Chartered Lead Hong Kong's Stablecoin Race On Friday, Bloomberg reported that HSBC, Hong Kong's largest bank by assets, and a joint venture led by Standard Chartered are set to be among the first companies to receive the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's (HKMA) stablecoin licenses this month. Authorities are reportedly prioritizing institutions already authorized to issue banknotes and will approve the two banks in the first batch, according to people familiar with the matter. Notably, the HKMA favors bank-led stablecoin issuers due to their robust capital base and ability to ensure greater safety while facilitating wider adoption, the sources affirmed. Last month, the financial authority's Chief Executive, Eddie Yue, announced it would grant the first, limited batch of stablecoin provider licenses in March as the review of 36 applications was nearly completed. The HKMA enacted the Stablecoins Ordinance last August, which directs any individual or entity seeking to issue any fiat-referenced Comment 3 1

Elon Musk's role in the growth of Dogecoin over the years cannot be overstated, as the billionaire served as the cornerstone of the 36,000% rally that caught attention back in 2021. The support for the meme coin also continued long after this, moving Dogecoin into the payments sector as well. However, following Musk's acquisition of Twitter (now X) in 2023, his involvement and tweets about the meme coin began to decline, and have become nonexistent in the last year. When Did Elon Musk Last Tweet About Dogecoin? Doing a search on Elon Musk's account on X shows that his last tweet directly mentioning Dogecoin was more than a year ago. The tweet, which was made back in November 2024, was explaining why the inflation mechanism used for the cryptocurrency was actually important. I think the flat inflation of Dogecoin, which means decreasing percentage inflation, is a feature, not a bug Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 13, 2024 According to Musk, Dogecoin having a flat inflation rate was actually a feature of its creation and not a bug. This is because the flat inflation rate translates to a decreasing percentage inflation, and is therefore a good thing for the digital asset to have. Comment 0 1

Washington is getting ready to potentially make life easier for the biggest US banks.

That can sound pretty abstract if you don't strip it down to the mechanics. Regulators decide how much capital banks must keep to absorb losses and how much liquidity they need if funding starts to disappear.

More capital and more liquidity make banks sturdier, though they also limit how much money banks can lend, trade, or return to shareholders. Less of both gives banks more room to move while leaving a thinner cushion when conditions turn.

That tradeoff is now back at the center of US

Thursday slide was a perfect illustration of a market that lost its marginal buyer and then discovered, in real time, how much leverage was sitting on top of that demand.

The move wasn't a smooth ride lower; it came in sharp legs that pushed the price from $84,400 toward the low-$81,000s in a matter of minutes, with brief rebounds that failed to repair the damage.

Will Dogecoin stall in a multi-week range despite DOGE’s 15% rally?
Dogecoin [DOGE] managed to defend the $0.088 support level despite the heavy selling pressure the memecoin faced recently. It is likely that the Bitcoin [BTC] bounce from $67k helped shore up the memecoin market sentiment.

AMBCrypto reported that DOGE and other memecoins saw heightened social media engagement. It came alongside a high liquidation imbalance and renewed speculative interest lately.

The long-term trend remained bearish, despite the 15% bounce in five days. The revival at the $0.088 support level, which has been critical over the past month, meant DOGE could climb beyond $0.1 once again.

The Moving Averages remained bearish and could act as resistance to DOGE’s rally. The volume indicators also underlined seller dominance.

The A/D indicator continued to trend downward despite the bounce. At press time, the CMF was at -0.1 to show significant capital outflow in this timeframe, further cementing the long-term bearishness.

Meanwhile, the DMI had been showing a downtrend in progress, but this got messier toward the end of February. In the past two weeks, the indicator did not give a clear reading. This gave some faint hope of a trend shift.
