What causes Bitcoin volatility right now?

Oil price spikes from Red Sea tensions and OPEC cuts, plus upcoming U.S. inflation data, are overriding ceasefire optimism. Derivatives show bears piling in.

Is it safe to buy Bitcoin during this rebound?

Risky. Short-term FOMO possible, but macro headwinds like higher oil and sticky inflation could trigger a 20% drop. Wait for CPI clarity.

How does oil affect Bitcoin prices?

Indirectly via inflation and risk sentiment. Higher energy costs fuel CPI, delay rate cuts, crush equities — and BTC follows as a high-beta asset.
