Brent settled at $94.65 and about $115 million of leveraged longs were closed inside an hour. The oil price, not the strikes, is what bitcoin is actually trading on.

The Strait of Hormuz opened on Friday, triggering $762 million in crypto liquidations and the cleanest short squeeze since February. Iran shut it again on Saturday, sending bitcoin back below $76,000.
