I will buy some spot $BTC here, partly to lock in short profits, partly as a long-term investment. I still believe if we don't aggressively react to $58k (my next POI) this is going much lower.

$BTC Let’s see whether sustained passive bid on #Bitcoin can today, finally, support the cleanup crew to take out upwards anomalies towards 66s. So far managed to stay atop p/dmVWAP, and within last two days NY value. Lower high until proven otherwise...

bitcoin:native 📈 Spot is selling into this move. Longs just tried to defend the low but failed. Looking very weak locally. A large passive buyer is sitting in the book around $60,500 for the past few hours. Let's see if this guy get's filled 👀

$CL #Oil up more than 6% since quoted post, which marked the precise bottom. A very clean trade, clear reaction with expected, bullish news flow tailwind. Derisking here into 73. 3-2-1 crack spread remains extremely interesting. Also interesting that we tapped into contango, though now back in backwardation. #oott


$CL May be time to re-enter #Oil for me depending on the reaction to this level (see attached images). 99th percentile refining crack spreads reflect tight product markets and strong refiner demand for crude, while EIA data (errors) and inventory signals point to larger-than-reported draws. Also little to no credible commitments made despite a lot of talking around the MOU. Flows nowhere near normalization. With the weekend coming up I'd rather be positioned. At the same time we are approaching a highly significant level across timeframes. I'm interested to say the least, but a clean reaction, clear invalidation and clearly defined risk are my non-negotiables in Oil right now. #oott

The dispute is over control of the chokepoint. Nothing more and nothing less. Both powers want to control Hormuz. Both want ships to transit. The only disagreement is under whose authority the ships will be permitted safe passage. What is interesting about this dispute is that it is entirely symbolic. Iran is not imposing tolls at this time. Letting vessels transit is not costing it anything. Nor does the US lose materially by letting the vessels transit on the Iranian side. Given the costs and risks of the fighting for both sides, how can it be that they have abandoned the ceasefire and negotiations over a symbolic dispute? I feel like this is undertheorized in IR. Anyway, we have this beautiful dance of the shippers as a result of this game of cat and mouse over symbolic control of Hormuz: “The US, however, has encouraged vessels to transit near the coast of Oman, whose territorial waters flow through the waterway. … But within days, Iran had fired at a ship as it warned vessels not to use what it called unauthorised routes. That triggered a cycle of retaliatory attacks. Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guards have been hailing ships over the radio and telling them to change course to the Iranian route. Despite the strikes, a handful of ships, including one belonging to the French container shipping line CMA-CGM and an Indian cargo carrier, sailed through on Wednesday morning following the route set out by Iran. But several ships that appeared to have been heading for the Omani route early on Wednesday, including the Indian-owned crude oil tanker Lila Vadinar and an Adnoc-operated LPG tanker, made U-turns, according to ship-tracking data. Others including Singaporean tanker Mercury Hope appeared to divert course from the Omani to Iranian coastal route.” ft.com/content/6a0166…
