According to reports, Bitcoin held its ground and pushed higher while oil prices slipped following the U.S. capture of Venezuela’s president. The market is pricing this geopolitical event as a macro story, with inflation, rates, and liquidity being key drivers. The expectation that a U.S.-backed transition in Venezuela could increase oil supply is putting downward pressure on prices. The market anticipates rising global inventories and potential downward pressure on prices through 2026. Cheaper oil could cool headline inflation, influencing market expectations about interest rates and risk appetite, potentially benefiting Bitcoin as liquidity expectations improve.
