Bitcoin Could Rally to $79,200 if Oil’s Trend Repeats

Oil prices surged to $101 per barrel on Sunday, a 55% rise in ten days that marked the largest move in history and pushed the SPX to its lowest level in 10 weeks. Bitcoin briefly jumped 16% between Feb. 28 and Wednesday before erasing those gains by Sunday. Traders are weighing the uncertainty from the US-Israel war with Iran and the risk that sustained high oil could stoke inflation and weaken consumer spending while the US job market remains soft.

Sudden oil rallies have often preceded sizeable Bitcoin moves. Between November 2020 and June 2025, WTI jumped 15% or more within 10 days on four occasions, and Bitcoin averaged a 20% gain over the following four weeks, though that sample is too small to be statistically conclusive.

Historical episodes vary. In November 2020 WTI rose 23% in nine days and Bitcoin gained 16% during that window, later rising 45% from $13,500 in under a month. After the Feb. 28, 2022 oil surge Bitcoin jumped 17% in two days, retraced, then climbed 25% over the next three weeks to $48,000.
