This week brings a significant development in US energy strategy. Administration officials are set to convene with major American petroleum executives to explore accelerated Venezuelan oil production. The backdrop here matters—the recent shift in Venezuela's political landscape has opened new opportunities for energy partnerships. What makes this noteworthy for markets? Oil supply dynamics directly influence inflation expectations, which cascades into broader financial markets including crypto assets. Historically, geopolitical supply shocks in energy markets create volatility across commodity and digital asset classes. Traders are watching whether increased Western Hemisphere oil production could ease global energy prices, potentially impacting Fed policy trajectories and risk asset appetite moving forward.

NGL, with this move by Venezuela's oil cartel, it feels like another wave of energy supply chain restructuring is coming... The key is whether the Fed will change its tone because of this, which is the real factor that will impact the crypto world.

Oil prices are interconnected; a disturbance can trigger a chain reaction. The collateralization ratio is already tight, and a supply shock could directly trigger the liquidation threshold.

Once oil prices loosen, the Fed's shift becomes possible, and then the crypto world can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The US is dealing with Venezuela over oil and gas. Basically, they want to lower oil prices to control inflation so that crypto can breathe easier... However, this sounds easy to say but hard to do, with so many political frictions.

The US is playing the geopolitical card again. As soon as Venezuela's oil production increases, inflation expectations will follow suit. When the Federal Reserve shifts its policy, the crypto market will get hit again.

Here comes the political game of cutting leeks again. When oil prices move, cryptocurrencies have to pay the price. We've started cutting losses based on the reverse indicator.
