If the Strait of Hormuz gets disrupted, nearly 20% of global oil supply is at risk. There’s no real bypass — that’s when oil doesn’t grind higher, it spikes ($100+ fast, $130–$150 in extremes). An oil shock hits everything: inflation, yields, liquidity, equities. Crypto may look calm, but a sharp oil gap can trigger a brutal risk-off open. Watch oil first. Everything else follows.
