Escalating Geopolitical Tensions Drive Oil Prices
Later that afternoon, significant geopolitical developments unfolded as Iran launched retaliatory attacks against Saudi Aramco's key refining facilities. This refinery is among the largest in the world, and the attack directly impacted global crude oil supply chains.
In addition, Iran announced attacks on multiple oil tankers and blocked ship passage through the Hormuz Strait - a critical oil transportation channel. Following these announcements, international oil prices surged, with WTI crude futures briefly reaching $73 per barrel.
Timely Geopolitical Risk Assessment Generates Profits
Benefiting from the rising oil prices, the long positions of both addresses quickly generated floating profits. Based on current prices, the combined profit exceeded 6%. Notably, the entry timing preceded the attack news, indicating the operators' heightened sensitivity to geopolitical developments.
Market analysts pointed out that this incident reflects some market participants' exceptional ability to anticipate global political dynamics, suggesting investors should monitor on-chain fund movements as a reference indicator.
