Oil Crisis: BTC Steady as Gold Crashes Below $4500
Amid Strait of Hormuz tensions and oil shocks, Bitcoin holds firm while gold tumbles—analysts spotlight why crypto is retail's crisis pick over traditional havens and shaky stocks.

The Story
Imagine oil barreling toward triple digits as Iran's Hormuz blockade tightens post-Trump deadline, gas stations scrambling with depleted stocks from panic buying. Gold, the go-to safe haven, just cracked key support below $4,500 per ounce amid the Middle East flare-up. Yet Bitcoin? It's holding relatively steady, shrugging off the chaos like a digital fortress—while stocks like the Nasdaq slide into correction territory.
