WTI tops $105 on Monday; past moves saw 14%–27% Bitcoin drawdowns
WTI crude climbed to $105 on Monday, its highest level in nearly four years, reviving concerns that Bitcoin could face another sharp pullback. In three prior episodes when WTI moved above $105 (June 12, 2014; March 1, 2022; May 4, 2022), BTC later fell 14%–27% within days or weeks. The pattern is limited to a small sample, and other shocks previously coincided with deeper crypto downturns.
