A recent collapse in oil prices, with Brent crude closing at $58.92 and WTI at $55.27, alongside Bitcoin's decline, raises concerns about a potential liquidity trap. According to reports, this price drop may reflect weaker demand and could impact risk assets like Bitcoin. Official outlooks suggest surplus conditions may extend into 2026. While survey data hasn't fully aligned with the oil market's message, indicators such as the J.P. Morgan and S&P Global composite PMI remain in expansion territory. However, softening PMIs in the U.S. and stagnation in Europe highlight potential growth concerns. Bitcoin's macro sensitivity is tied to risk appetite and liquidity, making it vulnerable during de-risking phases and tighter financial conditions.
