The US-Iran conflict has intensified, disrupting the Strait of Hormuz and pushing Brent crude over $100 per barrel, while the Polymarket contract for WTI Crude Oil hitting $160 in April trades at 25% YES with six days until resolution.
The WTI Crude Oil market’s odds reflect these tensions, with the April 30 contract trading at higher probabilities. Traders are weighing the impact of sustained disruptions in oil supply chains as the six-day window narrows.
Bitcoin, by contrast, is barely moving. Odds for Bitcoin dipping to $60,000 in April sit at 0.2% YES, down from 1% just 24 hours ago. Daily volume is $953 in actual USDC traded, with $2,581 in order book depth to move prices five points. The market is thin and quiet.
The 25% expected move for WTI Crude Oil points to real supply constraints from the Strait of Hormuz disruption. Bitcoin’s market looks disconnected from the energy shock for now, but a shift in macro sentiment or a further spike in oil prices could change that.
Military actions, OPEC+ announcements, and any new US-Iran negotiations are the immediate catalysts. Movement on any of these fronts would hit energy contracts directly and could spill into Bitcoin pricing.
