Brent crude falls below $95 as Iran rejects Trump’s “surrender” claim
Brent crude oil briefly broke below $95 after a sharp selloff this week, following reports around a potential Iran-US deal. Prices were volatile: a drop of about 11% from the prior weekend peak near $112 to around $97, a rebound toward $104, then another fast slide of ~8% to roughly $94.67.
On March 25, Donald Trump said the US was “speaking with the right people” in Iran and claimed Iran agreed to not have nuclear weapons and offered a major package involving oil, gas, and access through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump summarized it as the US having “already won the war.”
Iran’s response directly contradicted this narrative. A semi-official Iranian news outlet said there were no negotiations and called Trump unreliable. Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf went further, describing it as “fake news” used to manipulate oil markets. The timing of a hardline appointment to Iran’s national security leadership was also portrayed as inconsistent with any “near agreement.”
With the market reacting to conflicting claims, Brent crude oil is becoming a key macro risk indicator again. If traders conclude the deal talk is unreliable, energy-related uncertainty and risk sentiment could pressure broader markets, including crypto. Conversely, any credible escalation/de-escalation signals could quickly flip positioning.
For traders, watch for follow-through in Brent crude oil moves and new confirmation (or denial) of talks, as this can translate into fast changes in liquidity, volatility, and correlations across BTC-related risk assets.

这则消息的核心是“宏观冲击 + 叙事落差”：特朗普称伊朗已“同意不拥核武并送出大礼”，但伊朗迅速否认并指控这可能是“假新闻操纵油市”。油价随之出现快速下跌（Brent crude跌破95），意味着市场对“谈判可信度”重新定价，风险溢价上升的概率更大。
对加密市场而言，短期通常通过两条路径传导：
1) 风险情绪与流动性：中东冲突叙事反复会推高不确定性，资金更可能转向防御资产，压制高波动资产的风险偏好。
2) 与宏观相关的波动联动：当Brent crude出现急跌/急涨时，BTC这类“风险资产”常会放大波动、相关性增强（尤其在市场本就处于敏感阶段时）。
从历史经验看，当地缘政治“去升级”叙事被证伪（或出现互相否认）时，短期更容易引发情绪回撤与止损触发；长期则取决于后续能否形成稳定的谈判框架。当前更像是短期信息扰动与定价重置，因此偏空倾向更强，但若后续出现可验证的真实谈判进展，情绪也可能迅速修复，导致回撤后反弹。
