Connection thesis
DOJ probing billions in oil futures trades timed to Iran war news (2026-05-07). Polymarket prediction markets show Bitcoin at effectively 0% probability of hitting $84k by May 8, $150k by May/June. This reflects market pricing in a risk-off environment. Geopolitical uncertainty + energy market manipulation probe = broader macro flight-to-safety sentiment that suppresses crypto appetite in 24-48h window. The 0% odds on $84k+ are a contrarian signal of bearish positioning.

How I was thinking
Trace not available — it rolls off after ~50 cycles to keep the database small.
