Thursday 7 May 2026 – Escalating tensions between the US and Iran pushed up oil prices on Thursday, increasing market interest in the Strait of Hormuz and causing crypto trading to slow. The broader digital asset market was close to $2.7 trillion, while Bitcoin hovered around $81,500 after a strong seven-day run.
Brent crude futures rose 0.67% to $101.95 a barrel, and West Texas Intermediate gained 0.65% to $95.70 in early trade. The migration followed President Trump’s statement that Iran will face bombing “at the highest level” if it rejects its government’s new peace deal. He also said that the US blockade of Iranian ports will end only after the agreement is signed, reopening the Strait of Hormuz to all traffic.
Against this backdrop, crypto price action was reversed. Most major stocks were little changed over the 24 hours, and the Fear and Greed Index was flat at 51, underscoring caution in risky markets.
Uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for the world’s oil movement, has revived concerns about inflation, growth, and the Federal Reserve’s next steps. The macro background helps explain why crypto has struggled to extend recent gains despite Bitcoin’s strong performance.
On X, crypto analyst CW said that Bitcoin seems to have completed an important retest after the recent trend, indicating that the preparation phase may be over and the rally may be successful if things stabilize.
