Oil Selloff Sets Up “The Sweet Spot for Gold” and Bitcoin | Robbert van Batenburg
Oil is down almost 20% and gas is down 25% since the end of October, and Robbert van Batenburg, Global Strategist at The Bear Traps Report, says that sets up a dovish Fed and “the sweet spot for gold,” which is good for Bitcoin too. He walks through Trump’s two paths on Iran, a soft off-ramp that cools oil and brings CPI down or a restarted war that spikes prices and keeps the Fed hawkish. He also warns that a DSA-wing win in 2028 could hit stocks hard while gold and Bitcoin benefit as people look to safeguard their money from the government’s stranglehold.
