@BritishHodl This is the plan… the handshake deal both the petrodollar and petroyuan will coexist… weaken the dollar is the program this is just the next subroutine….🤯🤯🤯🤯

Watch the $MOVE move. Stimulus and resolutions are on the way if we breach 120-140. The bond market finally started welching because of Trump administrations communication strategy.

$MSTR This bottomed and followed again the Net Global Liquidity… we just passed the time to buy, that was it, that how you get 2700% gains in several years… the next cycle takes us back to $500 all the way to $1100… the time to buy isn’t $800…. NGL leads and people act… its boom and bust over and over again🚀🚀🚀🚀

$CRCL This is going to be back at $300 soon…. Net Global Liquidity told me when to buy, I’m glad I listened🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

The Strait of Hormuz has been **effectively closed** since early March 2026 (following U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran starting late February), choking off ~20% of global oil flows (~17-20 mbpd) plus major LNG and other exports. As of March 21, 2026, we're roughly **3 weeks** into this crisis, with tanker traffic down 90%+, insurance pulled, and some limited passages (mostly Chinese/Iranian flagged) but no real reopening. ### Why 3 Weeks Is the Critical Tipping Point Analysts (including JPMorgan and others) highlight ~3 weeks as the boundary because: - **Producer-side storage fills up**: Gulf exporters (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraq, Kuwait, etc.) have limited onshore spare storage (~100 million barrels collective headroom pre-crisis). At lost export rates of 15-20 mbpd, tanks hit capacity fast. Iraq/Kuwait already forced sharp cuts (days/1-2 weeks buffer); Saudi/UAE reach limits around the 3-week mark, triggering **forced production shut-ins** (not just export halts—actual wells/offline capacity). - **Consumer-side buffers deplete**: Pre-closure loaded tankers (transit time ~20-30 days to Asia/Europe) deliver for the first 2-4 weeks. After that, physical shortages hit refineries and strategic stocks (many hold only weeks of working inventory). Beyond 3 weeks, the shock escalates from "disrupted exports" to "structural supply loss," with no quick fix—bypass pipelines handle only ~4-7 mbpd max, rerouting around Africa adds 10-20 days + massive costs. Current reality (mid-March 2026): We're hitting/through that window. Oil already surged (Brent ~$100-110 range recently, with spikes toward $120 modeled), production cuts underway (~6-10 mbpd lost), fertilizer/LNG chaos emerging. ### Phased Breakdown: What Happens Day by Day / Week by Week - **Days 1-7 (Panic + initial buffer)**: Markets spike on fear (10-40% jumps). Insurers exit, tankers divert/anchor. Some pre-loaded oil still arrives. Early cuts in low-buffer producers (Iraq already slashing). Prices climb steadily; minor attacks reported. - **Days 8-14 (Storage filling accelerates)**: More producers max tanks, voluntary cuts ramp. Last big wave of pre-closure deliveries arrive. Global inventories draw down. Rerouting starts for non-oil cargo (huge added time/cost). Fertilizer/chemical exports tighten → early ag price pressure. - **Days 15-21 (The boundary—hitting the wall)**: Major players (Saudi/UAE) exhaust usable storage → forced shut-ins begin. Final pre-closure tankers finish deliveries. Importer stocks hit critical lows. Brent pushes $100-120+. Gasoline/diesel pump spikes, manufacturing slowdowns, food-price warnings (urea/fertilizer disruptions). - **Day 22+ (Acute crisis mode)**: Full Gulf shut-ins compound ~15-20% global loss. No new supply at scale. Oil surges $120-150+ (worst-case $200 if mining/escalation worsens). Recession signals strong: higher inflation (0.5-1%+ added), job losses in transport/energy sectors, potential rationing. LNG triples in Europe/Asia. Global shipping backlogs. Geopolitical scramble (U.S. escorts? China pressure?). If it drags months: 1970s energy crisis level—sustained high prices, growth contraction, forced energy shifts (e.g., renewables acceleration long-term). **Bottom line**: We're at the edge right now. Three weeks isn't magic—it's when producer storage + in-transit buffers both collapse, turning a bad disruption into a systemic shock. Markets are pricing this volatility daily; any de-escalation (escorts, ceasefire) could unwind fast, but prolongation risks deep economic pain. Stay tuned—every day counts. #HormuzCrisis #OilShock #EnergySecurity

Weekend Special: Retail Traders Getting Absolutely Yeeted While Institutions Sip Mai Tais Oh look, Trump fires off another galaxy-brain Truth Social nuke: “Iran, you’ve got 48 hours to reopen Hormuz or we turn your power grid into a very expensive fireworks show. Biggest one first. Tick tock.” Markets? Instantly decide Saturday night is prime time for a bloodbath Futures dumping like they're allergic to gravity Retail bags getting lighter by the millisecond Meanwhile, the big boys (institutions) clocked out Friday at 4 PM like responsible adults.

Trump issues new warning. The clock is ticking.

@SteveUrkelDude Three weeks of it being limited to closed… that’s the threshold… ☠️☠️☠️

The Trump tweet that dropped the crypto markets - warning Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours, or the USA will start obliterating power plants. The issue with this threat is that the regime - who is under threat of being overthrown - doesn’t give a shit.

@mikealfred This issue is what is next…☠️☠️☠️

Just a few more Trump Truth Social posts before the market becomes completely apathetic. We’ve seen this pattern before. At some point he will say we are doing something truly insane and the market will actually go up. It’s a process.

@mikealfred This is different… we are at the three week mark of limited traffic through the strait of hormuz… ☠️☠️☠️ Look it up…

@WatcherGuru We are at the three week mark…☠️☠️☠️

JUST IN: Bitcoin crashes under $69,000 after President Trump threatens to "obliterate" Iran's power plants if Strait of Hormuz is not opened within 48 hours.

@cheffory73 The three week mark is here… ☠️☠️☠️

You all too with this nonsense. This is normal weekend Bitcoin price action. 🙄💀🤣

Things are escalating and $BTC falls below $69,000

@QuintenFrancois The three week mark is here…☠️☠️☠️
