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.

Indicators pointed to mixed momentum, with downside scenarios as low as $0.086 and potential upside toward $0.106 if Spot demand stays stronger.
