The menu changed. BTC refused to leave the table
We came in expecting a two-top. The whole block is on fire.
Iran struck Kuwait, UAE, and Bahrain — Kuwait oil exports halted, Gulf infrastructure burning — and the war went regional. BTC refused to crack through any of it, held $66,634 overnight, recovered to $67K. Monday open is when the kitchen tells us if the floor actually held.

Core Setup — The Kitchen Went Regional — BTC Refused to Leave
Iran hit Kuwait, UAE, and Bahrain. Kuwait's supply line (~2.5M bbl/day) pulled. WTI ~$112 — IEA: "largest supply disruption in oil market history." Kalshi serving $150 WTI as 2026's main course. Oil cliff (~April 19) was already stacked; Kuwait's halt added a second course.
BTC refused to fold. Five sessions of structural demand absorbing Gulf strikes and an expired ultimatum — floor intact. But it's holding against a regional war now, not the bilateral it was built for. Monday is the meal that matters.
