Gox and the Terra-Luna collapse likely deepened previous crypto bear markets.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Oil prices surged to $105 on Monday, reaching their highest level in nearly four years. Historically, this specific threshold has aligned with major Bitcoin price corrections. However, since these occurrences only took place once in 2014 and twice in 2022, a more granular analysis is required to determine if current market fears are justified.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Are $105 oil prices a bearish signal for Bitcoin?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On June 12, 2014, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) climbed above $105 after the Islamic State (ISIS) advanced into northern Iraq and captured Mosul and Tikrit.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2026-03\/019d4124-de44-7625-ad0a-7d35265575e7.png\" data-ct-img-zoomable=\"\" \/><figcaption><em>Bitcoin\/USD (blue, left) vs. WTI oil (red, right).

It would take over two years for Bitcoin to reclaim the $600 level. The next instance would happen almost 8 years later. On March 1, 2022, WTI prices surged above $105 following the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine war.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2026-03\/019d4124-e164-7873-8f3b-3f6a8b69347a.png\" data-ct-img-zoomable=\"\" \/><figcaption><em>Bitcoin\/USD (blue, left) vs. WTI oil (red, right).

While $105 oil is seen as a bearish sign for Bitcoin, three events in 12 years do not prove a correlation.<\/p>\n<p>Other factors, like the Mt. Gox exchange liquidation in February 2014 and the Terra-Luna ecosystem collapse in May 2022, likely caused those prolonged bear markets. Thus, pinning a Bitcoin crash on an arbitrary oil price threshold seems far-fetched.<\/p>\n<p>*********************************<\/p>\n<p>If one of the paying programs on our Monitor appeals to you, please support <em>EmilyNews<\/em> by registering for it on our website.
