Crypto opens the Monday session under macro pressure, not structural collapse.
The dominant driver is no longer an internal crypto narrative. It is the external shock coming from the Iran conflict, the renewed threat around the Strait of Hormuz, and the resulting jump in oil. That matters because in the current regime both Bitcoin and Ethereum trade first as liquid macro assets and only second as long-duration technology networks. When oil moves violently higher, inflation risk returns, rate expectations harden, the dollar firms, and leveraged risk tends to get sold before it gets bought.
That is the framework for today.
Our base view is that BTC remains the higher-quality crypto risk expression and can still be accumulated selectively on weakness, while ETH is more fragile and requires tighter execution discipline. Neither asset is in a clean momentum breakout regime. Both are in a headline-sensitive, range-dependent environment where entry quality and invalidation matter more than conviction speeches.
