Analyst Darkfost said on X that Bitcoin is approaching a 365-day stretch without setting a new all-time high. According to ChainCatcher, he noted that Bitcoin has historically reached new highs shortly after halvings, but that pattern appears to be changing. Darkfost also said the time between cycle tops and the next all-time high has been shortening: 1,180 days from 2014 to 2017, 1,094 days from 2017 to 2020, and 849 days from 2021 to 2024. He said that if the trend continues, Bitcoin could reach a new record high sooner in this cycle. The next Bitcoin halving is expected around April 2028.

The International Energy Agency cut its 2026 global oil supply forecast to 100.7 million barrels a day, while saying full Gulf supply recovery is now expected in 2027. According to NS3.AI, the revision complicates prospects for energy-driven relief in borrowing costs for Bitcoin investors. The IEA also forecast that global oil consumption will fall by 2.5 million barrels a day in 2026 compared with 2025. It estimated that global observed inventories fell by 95 million barrels in August, suggesting weaker demand has not eliminated physical tightness in the market.

Hayes said either path would ultimately require more money creation, and he described the situation as "Yachtzee."

According to CNBC, the Breakwave Tanker Shipping ETF (BWET) is up roughly 3,600% year to date as of early September, making it the best-performing non-levered fund in the U.S. The fund tracks the cost of shipping oil rather than crude prices, and its gains have been driven by disruptions to tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, Iran-backed Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping lanes, and other route bottlenecks that have pushed Middle East tanker rates up close to 500% year over year, according to BWET's Sept. 8 tanker report. John Murillo, chief business officer at B2BROKER, said the ETF is tied to the cost of moving crude, not the oil price itself, while Kyle Peacock of Peacock Tariff Consulting said tariffs, drought and vessel shortages have also tightened shipping capacity. BWET said in its latest report that rapid freight-rate gains have triggered significant new vessel ordering, but it expects a longer-term industry downcycle once supply catches up. The article also noted that U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo ETF (SEA) is up 42% year to date and SonicShares Global Shipping ETF (BOAT) is up 70% year to date, both through Sept. 11.
