Middle East tensions are escalating. With diplomatic talks hitting a dead end and the Israeli military actively preparing for combat, geopolitical risk is pushing oil prices into a volatile uptrend. This surge in instability is amplifying global stagflation fears, delaying expectations for looser monetary policy, tightening market liquidity, and weakening risk appetite. Bitcoin is feeling the pressure, trending downward with heightened volatility. The macro outlook is leaning bearish. Keep a close watch on oil. I see opportunity forming and will begin building a short crude position soon. #ISRAELPREPSIRANSTRIKE
