BITCOIN $69,466 | GOLD $4,618
1. G7 joins Hormuz reopening military effort
-- Reuters: leading nations pledged to stabilize energy markets and join "appropriate efforts" to reopen the strait after energy plant strikes.
-- First multilateral military commitment to Hormuz; oil retreated from $101 to $96.28 as coalition broadens beyond US-Israel.
2. China ignores Trump's Hormuz request
-- AP: Beijing refuses to assist with strait reopening as Iran war deepens; Trump's planned Beijing trip slipping.
-- Exposes limits of US leverage on the power benefiting most from rival energy disruption; ceasefire at 7%, no diplomatic channel.
3. BTC breaks $70K support, $65K retest in play
-- Lost critical level at $69,466, down $6.5K from Monday's $76K war-era high post-Powell hawkish hold.
-- $934M weekly ETF inflows and Strategy's $1.57B buy anchor structural floor; every prior war drawdown held above $65K.
4. Gold crash hits $570 below peak, worst in decades
-- Down to $4,618 from $5,188 eleven days ago; accelerating collapse with no stabilization visible.
-- Every legacy haven—gold, yen, Treasuries—failing simultaneously during ten-nation war; BTC still up ~4% since Feb 28 despite pullback.
5. Eastern Europe power prices surge on gas war
-- Reuters: electricity costs in Italy and Eastern Europe climbing fastest in EU as Qatar LNG strikes choke gas supply.
-- Energy war damage spreading beyond oil into power grids; war's economic footprint now touching European households directly.
