Oil markets steadied Thursday after a sharp selloff, with WTI holding near $59 per barrel and Brent staying below $64. The stabilization comes as Israel signaled to Washington to hold off on immediate military action, easing near-term geopolitical tensions. Fewer headline risks mean lower pressure on energy prices—and that typically translates to improved risk appetite across markets. For crypto traders watching macro flows, reduced geopolitical friction generally supports a more favorable environment for risk assets, though broader economic headwinds remain a wildcard.

Whenever the geopolitical situation eases, the market immediately pulls back. We've seen this trick too many times; the real test is still ahead.

Oil prices have stabilized, and geopolitical tensions are easing. Are risk assets about to take off? I can't say for sure.

Haha, the geopolitical situation has eased, and we can finally breathe... Is the risk-on back?

Geopolitical tensions ease and prices go up; we've seen this routine too many times. That said, it's always good to catch a breath; at least today, there's no need to worry about oil prices suddenly taking off.

Oil prices have stabilized, and now risk assets can take a breather, which is positive for risk appetite.

ngl the geopolitical relief bounce feels like a classic bear trap setup... let me pull up my spreadsheet real quick but statistically speaking, energy price stability doesn't actually correlate linearly with sustained risk-on flows. data suggests otherwise tbh

Oil prices have stabilized this time, finally not continuing to fall, but there are still a bunch of economic risks.
