While investors watch political cycles for clues about the next rally, rising oil prices are currently adding pressure to global markets. Crude oil recently surged close to $95 per barrel as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East intensified, raising concerns about potential disruptions to global energy supplies.

Analysts say that if instability continues, oil could climb even higher and keep risk assets like cryptocurrencies under pressure. Some experts believe that in a prolonged energy crisis, oil could even outperform traditional safe-haven assets such as gold, forcing investors to reassess where they place their capital.
