Bloomberg Analyst: After Bitcoin’s sharp rally last year, crude oil and other commodities may face similar correction risks this year

Mike McGlone, Senior Commodity Strategist at Bloomberg, posted on X that after Bitcoin’s sharp rally in 2025, it experienced a violent correction; currently, silver, gold, copper, natural gas—and most critically, crude oil—may enter an “up-too-much” zone by the end of 2026 and face similar correction risks. Typically, rapid asset price increases are underpinned by fundamentals, yet they simultaneously incentivize increased supply and dampen demand, ultimately triggering price reversals. Rapid surges in crude oil prices are often “destructive,” having historically triggered cascading effects across markets or the broader economy.
