The next day, US strikes began, and oil spiked.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Karsan Says The Middle East Conflict Was Never About Iran</h2>According to Karsan, the conflict in the Middle East is being widely misread. "This is not about Iran and their nuclear capabilities," he said. "This is about dominance in oil markets and what that means for the petrodollar."&nbsp;In his view, the real adversary is China and the Strait of Hormuz. The sea route oversees roughly 40% of China's oil supply flows and is the actual prize for the U.S. "Your adversary is not Iran. Your adversary is China and Russia. Unlimited funding, unlimited intelligence, unlimited willingness to battle over this critical choke point," he said.&nbsp;Karsan stated that this dynamic leaves any near-term diplomatic "resolution" meaningless. "A resolution does not mean the Strait of Hormuz just opens back up and goes back to normal," he said. "That is not an acceptable solution. There's no world in my opinion that the U.S. military allows things to just go back to normal."&nbsp;Karsan stated that the more likely scenario is that the U.S. pivots to managing and policing the strait rather than active bombardment, while keeping Chinese energy access constrained and pulling in Western allies to share the burden.<h2 class="st-heading-2">The Structural Case for More Pain</h2>Beyond the geopolitics and options mechanics, Karsan laid out a broader macro backdrop that he believes is deeply hostile to risk assets. He pointed out that long-end bond yields are up around 40 basis points, structural inflationary pressure has not yet passed through into the consumer price index (CPI), the private equity and private credit markets are seized up, and a fiscal impulse from Congress is likely to worsen inflation heading into the midterms.Karsan also flagged that hedges are not working, making the environment more dangerous, not less. "If you get a big volatility event, volatility expands, you can get a V-bottom and hedges at least protect people," he said. "Bigger pain trades tend to happen — think 2022, late 2018 — when hedges don't work, and volatility supply is compressed. Those are slow, melting, stair-steppy moves where retail tries to buy every dip and every dip bleeds them out."U.S. equities were mixed in morning trade on Wednesday ahead of&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-reclaims-68-k-ahead-of-trump-iran-speech/cZ7Hjf0RIn8">Trump’s Iran speech</a> scheduled for later in the day.

Stocktwits Polls

The market is defying bearish narratives with a powerful 5% rally in two days, fueled by speculative optimism and massive short squeezes.

Ongoing regional instability, oil price spikes, and conflicting reports regarding NATO and Iran are causing intense volatility and confusion for traders.

Traders are anxiously awaiting the upcoming 9pm address, with many betting on whether it will spark a fresh rally or a massive rug pull.

Short-sellers who ignored market momentum are facing significant losses as the index continues to grind higher, wiping out those expecting a pullback.
