AI Summary
Bitcoin fell to roughly $62,900 on Friday, down about 38% from its October 2025 all-time high, as Brent crude settled above $85 with the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed to normal commercial traffic; by Saturday BTC had stabilized near $63,900. A prolonged Hormuz disruption threatens roughly 20% of global oil flows, and a sustained oil spike would pressure risk assets through the inflation-and-rates channel while crypto absorbs the geopolitical shock alone during thin weekend liquidity when equity and Treasury markets are closed. Watch whether Brent holds above $85 into Monday's open and whether BTC can defend the $62,000-$63,000 area before traditional markets reprice the supply risk.
As a Crypto signal, watch whether it changes price action, volatility, or flows around BTC, BZ=F, CL=F.
