Trump Iran Rejection: Oil Up 6%, BTC and Crypto Down

US President Trump's rejection of Iran's offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz pushed oil prices up 6% while pulling down crypto stock prices. Robinhood (HOOD) lost 14% value with its earnings report that eroded crypto trading revenues by 47% in the first quarter. Investors interpreted this weakness as a harbinger of declining demand in the crypto market. Exchanges like Coinbase (COIN) and Bullish (BLSH) also fell 8%.

How Did the Oil Rally Pressure Crypto Stocks?

Crypto-focused stocks were caught in a general selling wave on Wednesday; names like Gemini (GEMI), Riot Platforms (RIOT), MARA, and Strategy (MSTR) deepened their losses. Trump conditioned the acceptance of Iran's proposal to lift the naval blockade on the expansion of nuclear negotiations. According to Axios, Tehran offered to temporarily open the strait, but Washington is waiting for a full agreement. This increased uncertainty in Middle East energy routes, and WTI exceeded 100 dollars per barrel. While Nasdaq limited its decline to 0.35%, the oil rally curtailed risk appetite, adding pressure to the crypto sector.

Bitcoin (BTC) rose 1.01% in the last 24 hours to reach 76,410.62 dollars, but the short-term Supertrend is giving a bearish signal. RSI at 55.94 indicates a sideways trend prevails. The Fed's interest rate decision and Powell's signals will be closely watched; Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft earnings will shed light on AI spending.
