Don't predict markets, read regimes. Writing from DIFC.

@anasalhajji Not a blow, a bold, sovereign masterstroke. UAE has poured billions into upstream capacity while being held back by quotas that never reflected its real potential. Exiting OPEC+ finally lets it align production with market reality, especially amid Hormuz disruptions.

@HESuhail @Amena__Bakr Smart move by the UAE, prioritizing national interests, full capacity, and diversification over cartel quotas. Pragmatism over politics wins.

@cryptonary Grind to $80K, stall, drift sideways into weekend

@HHShkMohd Proud to see this.
The UAE is steadily positioning itself as a global hub for capital, stability, and forward thinking leadership.

@FTMidEastAfrica 1 in 8 left.

7 in 8 stayed.

That’s the real headline.

@gnuseibeh Resilience earns trust.

Trust attracts capital.

That’s how UAE strengthens after every shock.

@DrHabibAlMulla Markets move on trust.

UAE continues to earn it.

[Sid . @SidDubaiBrazil]

@DrHabibAlMulla The smartest move is a 90-day moratorium on performance bond calls across all active construction contracts. Protect the contractors, protect the supply chain, keep Dubai building.

The US is the only country in this war that profits from the disruption it is also trying to end. That tension does not resolve cleanly. Europe is noticing. So is Asia. The de-dollarisation of energy flows that started this week is partly a response to exactly that conflict of interest.

Stenos math works if Iran keeps cooperating. But Iran is not cooperating out of goodwill. They are monetising a window that closes the moment bypass infrastructure matures. The toll regime has a shelf life. Iran knows it. That is what makes the next 90 days more dangerous, not less.

@anasalhajji Algeria has the reserves. The problem is Algeria also has 46 million people who need that gas before Europe does. Domestic consumption is eating the export surplus faster than any shale project can replace it

@JavierBlas Goldman doesn’t ask questions. They give clients permission to act on what the physical market already answered. Dated Brent at $141, futures at $109. The boats already know.

@dlacalle_IA Largest producer in the world. Gas prices at a 2-year high.
Someone should tell the pump.

[Sid . @SidDubaiBrazil]

@JavierBlas The diesel price is what kills supply chains. Gasoline is what kills politicians.
Trump understands the second one. The market is pricing the first.

@afscott Been here 20 years. The fishing village framing is real.
What people still underestimate is the speed. Dubai doesn’t debate. It decides and builds.
That’s why builders come here. The environment matches the mentality.

[Sid . @SidDubaiBrazil]

Power law is useful for the long term but it tells you nothing about the path. BTC can hit 300k by 2028 and still trade 50k somewhere in between. Right now realised cap drawdown is only 3.6%. That’s shallow compared to any prior bear. Floor models have the zone between 51k and 61k. Destination might be right. But the next 6 months are about surviving the route, not staring at a curve.

[Sid . @SidDubaiBrazil]

Insider selling is the most misread signal in markets. They sell for a hundred reasons. Taxes, diversification, planned 10b5-1 schedules, option exercises hitting expiry. They buy for one reason. The sell/buy ratio on its own tells you almost nothing without knowing the sector, the size relative to holdings, and whether it’s discretionary or scheduled. A generic insider sell list during a war when everyone is raising cash is noise, not signal.

[Sid . @SidDubaiBrazil]

NYDIG to Wintermute is a market maker transfer, not a panic exit. But price still has room to fall. Above 70k isn’t deep value by any metric. Realised cap drawdown sitting at 3.6%, that’s shallow compared to any prior bear. Floor models have the zone between 51k and 61k. I’m watching 55-63k to start scaling in. Below 50k and everything needs rethinking.

Every bear market on that list was a structural unwind. No off-switch. Credit cycle breaks, earnings collapse, dot-com blows up. This one has a binary trigger. Ceasefire happens, Hormuz opens, oil drops below 90, war premium in equities evaporates. That’s it. The real risk isn’t technicals. It’s oil staying above 100 long enough to force the Fed’s hand. Futures already pricing 52% chance of a hike by year-end. That’s the chain. Oil stays hot, inflation reaccelerates, Fed hikes into a war, credit breaks. Then sub-6000 is real. SPX sitting below the 200-day at 6,633. Low is 6,356. If that holds and a deal gets done, bears get squeezed hard. If not, he’s right. The conflict decides this, not the chart.
