BITCOIN $74,892 | GOLD $4,973
1. FOMC decision today, oil crash reshapes calculus
-- Fed announces with WTI at $93.92, down from $100.75 two days ago; $137B Treasury settlements draining liquidity simultaneously.
-- Oil relief gives Powell room for dovish dot-plot; BTC $74,892 poised at breakout level where any easing signal accelerates toward $78K.
2. BTC tests $75K, up 12% since war began
-- Highest sustained level of the conflict; Cointelegraph confirms aggressive ETF inflows and Strategy's $1.57B buy anchoring bid.
-- Gold flat at $4,973; traditional haven failure now structural as BTC absorbs war premium that gold is shedding.
3. House privacy hearing convenes today
-- HFSC opens 21st-century financial privacy overhaul hours before Fed; Treasury report legitimizing mixers sets the floor.
-- DOJ still pursuing Tornado Cash retrial; today's testimony defines code-as-speech doctrine and sovereign transaction rights at federal level.
4. War de-escalation trend firms, ceasefire still remote
-- US ground entry eased to 25% from 70% peak; ceasefire recovered to 14% from 10% war-low after Hormuz-area strikes.
-- BlackRock sees stagflation feedback loop limiting conflict duration; regime fall 27% by June as air campaign degrades Iranian capacity.
