I remember well that night, the night when I tore my hair three times ... when everything collapsed, when the oil dropped to negative values (which, by the way, has nothing to do with covid). The oil price collapsed not at all due to the fact that planes did not fly, and trains did not travel ... it was at that moment that restrictions on reducing oil production were lifted.
Crude oil price significantly decreased during Covid-19, during lock-down. At times, the oil production-cut to reduce supply can also be an effective way to reduce the severity of oil price drop, if the supply is reduced, the lower will be the fall, but if the supply is not reduced, the more will be the fall. So, the supply reduction will only most likely result to positive result in oil price towards uptrend or to reduce the price not to go more down side. During lockdown, people and industries that were using crude oil by-product significantly reduced, or they reduced its usage, then price falled will surely ensue as the demand significantly reduced. What can still help a little is to reduce supply (reducing oil production at the time) so the price will not be negatively more affected.
I understand that people see what they want to see, but I also saw how much Bitcoin is dependent on financial institutions that we discuss with such skepticismб (the same night, the night when Bitcoin vtoch followed the S&P500 chart). Nostalgia in one word ... Grin
The price of bitcoin is affected by buying and selling, which means the price is affected by people, the institutions are controlled by people. Why the whales accumulated Bitcoin more after halving? I believe some really waited for the time. Also why China FUD plumented Bitcoin price to $30000 from $45000 before Bitcoin increased back above $45000. There are many factors that would be considered that can affect Bitcoin price. Even if the institutions affect the price, it is not still the only factor that can affect Bitcoin price while many of the institutions want Bitcoin price to appreciate, people like Michael Saylor. But before the recent bull run,
one of the suggestions was that Bitcoin into exchanges from wallet reach 6 months low , while people moving bitcoin from exchanges to wallet is an indication that most holders do not want to sell at the time, while also miners accumulating is also one of the factors to check, and many others.
