Truyền thông quốc tế đặc biệt quan tâm đến các gã khổng lồ thanh toán đi cùng Tổng thống Donald Trump trong chuyến thăm Trung Quốc ngày 14-15/5/2026.

Các gã khổng lồ thanh toán, như Mastercard và Visa, họ kỳ vọng chuyến đi lần này cải thiện vị thế trong thị trường thanh toán bị quản lý chặt tại Trung Quốc. Trong đó, Mastercard hy vọng chính phủ sẽ vận động để hãng được nâng tỷ lệ sở hữu trong liên doanh tại đây.

Visa chưa được cấp phép xử lý giao dịch thẻ nội địa tại nền kinh tế lớn thứ hai thế giới như Mastercard và American Express. Vì thế, họ muốn gia nhập thị trường này với tỷ lệ sở hữu 100% trong giấy phép liên doanh tương lai.

Fed sắp có chủ tịch mới

Kevin Warsh - người được Tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump đề cử cho chức Chủ tịch Cục Dự trữ liên bang (Fed) nhiệm kỳ tới - đã được phê chuẩn.

Kevin Warsh khẳng định không hứa với Tổng thống Trump rằng sẽ giảm lãi suất, và chỉ làm những gì có lợi nhất cho nền kinh tế Mỹ.

Fed keeps interest rates unchanged
The cryptocurrency and precious metals market is bloodied

The Federal Reserve (Fed) kept interest rates unchanged in its second policy meeting of the year, as expected by the market.

On March 18, after a 2-day policy meeting, the Fed decided to maintain the reference interest rate at 3.5-3.75%. This move is similar to the meeting in January. Last year, the agency cut interest rates 3 times.

"Economic activity continues to grow at a steady pace," the Fed noted in its announcement on March 18. However, inflation "is accelerating" and the labor market "has remained virtually unchanged in recent months".

In the subsequent press conference, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell began with the statement: "We believe the current monetary policy stance is appropriate". After summarizing the policy decision and the latest forecasts from the Fed, he addressed the conflict in the Middle East.

"The impact of developments in the Middle East on the U.S. economy is still unclear. In the short term, rising energy prices will push overall inflation higher, but it is still too early to assess the magnitude and timing of potential impacts on the economy," he said.

The reason precious metals show signs of being sold off!

The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on March 14 that it had conducted precision strikes against 90 military targets on Kharg Island, considered the "artery of oil" of Iran in the Persian Gulf.

In an interview with NBC News later that day, President Donald Trump stated that U.S. forces "had completely destroyed the island."

"We could strike a few more times just for fun. We have totally devastated the place, except for the oil pipelines, because rebuilding those pipelines will take many years," he said.

Kharg Island is located in the Persian Gulf, about 25 km off the coast of Iran, more than 480 km from the Strait of Hormuz, and serves as a processing hub for approximately 90% of Iran's crude oil exports. Therefore, Kharg is likened to Iran's "precious oil gem."

The island is 6 km long and 20 km² wide, with many storage facilities and an oil export port that remained intact during the first two weeks of the conflict, as the U.S. and Israel were cautious due to the island's role in the global oil market.

When oil prices rise, countries will sell reserve gold to balance energy cash flow! A very accurate sign that countries will not buy gold but rather are quietly selling it!

Why gold, silver, and precious metals could be sold off if the 'Russia-US-Iran peace agreement' is signed?

The most shocking story in the financial market right now is that Mr. Vladimir Putin is reportedly considering resuming oil payments in USD (Petrodollar) to escape the 'Yuan trap'. In return, sanctions would be lifted and Russia would be allowed back into the SWIFT system, along with other concessions.

By suggesting the possibility of partially returning to the greenback, Mr. Putin is sending a message to China: 'Pay the market price for our oil in a real currency, or I will go back to the Americans.' This is a 'bombshell' for silver and gold.

If the 'Russia-US peace agreement' is signed and Russia returns to the SWIFT system, the metal market will witness a wave of sell-offs as trading based on fear and the downward trend of USD dependence fades away. At that point, gold and silver could drop from recent peaks by 20 - 40%.

Especially if the US negotiates further Peace with Iran in a way that benefits the US Petrodollar, precious metals could fall from peaks by 40 - 60%.

BTC < 70,000 $
In 2026, cash is the most powerful nuclear weapon.

In a context of geopolitical economic volatility, cash is the strongest nuclear weapon.

Currently, all products are being overvalued. If a major correction occurs in 2026, investors with cash on hand will be the group with the ability to act quickly and effectively.

BTC could correct down 50-80% from its peak. (10/07/2025: 126,198 $ down < 70,000$/btc)

Gold and precious metals could correct down 50% -70% from their peak.
....

Stablecoins only exist when they can prove a stable and practically useful ecosystem; stablecoins created solely for asset sheltering or gambling will soon die or be purged by regulatory authorities and disappear by 2026-2028.

The market correction in 2026 will prove that Cash is the oxygen of life. Those with cash will be the kings of safe-haven assets in 2026; they will have the power to buy valuable assets at great prices when the financial crisis storm sweeps through.

Cryptocurrency is just a game of chance.
Let the numbers speak for themselves:
- $LUNC from $119 down to almost nothing - $0.00001 in just 24h. The catastrophic collapse of LUNC (Terra Luna Classic on May 7, 2022, shook the cryptocurrency world and remains one of the most tragic events in the history of cryptocurrency).

- $TRUMP after 3 weeks, from $75 down to $15 and currently priced at $7.3

- $USUAL after 9 months, from $1.6 currently priced at $0.0523

- OM after 1 night OM from $9 down to $2 and currently priced at $0.1666

- Etc... projects that evaporated 98% of their assets overnight!

Those who invested in usual were very lucky to have almost 1 year to make a decision to cut losses! Unlike Lunc, Trum, OM... investors had no chance to make a decision to cut losses - They quickly herded the sheep and took advantage!

Looking at the above indices, ace should not scream and curse the Dev of any project. Because in the world of cryptocurrency, anything can happen, you can rise to the top and fall to the bottom in an instant!

Note: Choose projects with good fundamentals and then invest in them, especially projects with contributions from exchanges, you might have opportunities that bring life-changing profits.

Wishing ace much luck.

Cryptocurrency is a long-term game.
The numbers speak for themselves:
- After 8 years, $BNB is currently worth 1,000 $
- After 12 years, $XRP is only worth less than 3 $
- After 8 months, $USUAL is at 0.068 $

Eight years ago, those who invested only 100 $ in BNB now have over 1,000,000 $
This is the power of time + faith in the project, especially projects that have capital contributions from exchanges.
Some projects will bring life-changing profits, while others stagnate!
Which coin today will help you become a millionaire tomorrow?
Note: Please research projects with good fundamentals, especially those with capital contributions from exchanges that are currently undervalued, then buy and wait!

Wishing all coin holders good luck.

Why do 98% of cryptocurrency investors lose money?
Below are the hard-earned lessons I've learned; reading this may help you avoid being part of the 98% of investors mentioned.

The reality of investors: Most cryptocurrency traders stay up late at night, are not focused on their work during the day, and only want to check their phones to see the fluctuating green and red indicators... it haunts any trader even in their sleep. There is joy when making profits, but ultimately, most investors see their accounts dwindling. A lesson with an exorbitant tuition fee for traders.

Market reality: In the world of cryptocurrency, almost all tokens are subject to the following tactics by Market Makers (MM):
- Buy in secret.
- Organize public pump-and-dump schemes, FOMO... loudly to create new price peaks.
- Quietly and secretly sell off and withdraw funds gradually.

The crowd 🐤 🦆 only sees the virtual reality when MMs: pump, push, green candles, FOMO... but never sees the silent plans of MMs!
The market is like a chess game. MMs act quietly and secretly. The only time people see MMs in action when playing chess is to say the two words "Checkmate" - the game is over - accompanied by a catastrophic drop in the market and the panic selling of investors caught in the FOMO trap set by MMs.

An invitation: The 2% of investors in the remaining group apply the principle of "Searching for projects with strong fundamentals that are undervalued, buying the tokens and holding on steadfastly while waiting"; when MMs pump, be alert to take profits.

Wishing all traders good luck.
(Note: This article is for reference only and should not be considered investment advice, and no responsibility is taken for any decisions made by anyone).

Reasons why capital is fleeing the cryptocurrency market in droves:
👉 Concerns about global economic inflation, along with the escalation of political instability in several countries, have led organizations and individuals to withdraw money from high-risk investment channels, with the cryptocurrency sector being severely affected; capital has been fleeing in massive amounts over the past 24 hours!
👉 MM is taking profits.

A note: In times of market panic, it serves both as a promising story and a warning. Investors should consider the intrinsic strength of the product:
When the product price falls below its intrinsic value, this could be a buying opportunity. And when the price far exceeds its true value, that's when one should consider selling or maintaining a cautious stance. It's important to stay cautious in a market where everything can change rapidly.

Wishing everyone wise decisions and good luck.

98% of cryptocurrency investors lose, are you in the remaining 2%?
The horrifying truth in the cryptocurrency world is that almost all tokens are subjected to this tactic by MM:
MM - The hidden player, they:
👉 Buy in secret.
👉 Organize pump, push, fomo ... loudly in public to drive prices up to create new peaks.
👉 Quietly and secretly sell off to withdraw money gradually.

🐤 🦆🐣 The crowd only sees the virtual reality when MM: pumps, pushes, green candles, fomo..., and never sees the vision or the quiet plan of MM!

💰 💲💰 The market is like a chess game. MM acts quietly and secretly. The only time people see MM act while playing chess is to say the two words "Checkmate" - The game is over - See you next season and MM still uses the old tactics!

👉💰 A net catch by MM has been completed, accompanied by a catastrophic market decline in price and the panic selling of investors trapped in MM's fomo.
Wishing you, cryptocurrency investors, to stay alert, take profits, and have good luck.

Summary of the Dev's operational process at any token for the community to understand vaguely and then decide the fate of their assets as follows:

- Step 1: List on the exchange, pump to the peak.
- Step 2: Reversal, decrease by 70% - 200%...
- Step 3: Pump after the price drop and soar 150%-1000%...
- Step 4: Signal sufficient accumulation - Go sideways (During this phase, many may confuse it as accumulation and that it will soar again).
- Step 5: Dump from the peak gradually back to near the initial value when listed on the exchange!
(End of the life cycle process of a token, goodbye and see you again in the next cycle when the Dev opens the stage for the continuation).

Conclusion about the general model of any token: list on the exchange, strong price increase, strong price decrease, accumulation, extremely strong soar, sideways and extremely strong decrease, goodbye and see you again next season.

If lucky enough to buy the token in step 2 and sell in step 3, then you only need to win the lottery 100$ when it soars, your assets will increase by 100 times!

Wishing the cryptocurrency community much luck.

Reasons for the capital flight from the cryptocurrency market:
"Donald Trump officially imposes a 20% tax on all U.S. trade partners "

U.S. President Donald Trump has declared April 2, 2025, as Liberation Day when the U.S. will impose reciprocal taxes on all of its trade partners. Specific details about the tax rates will be announced by President Trump on the afternoon of April 2 (U.S. time).

According to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the U.S. reciprocal tax rates will take effect immediately after being announced by President Trump. The U.S. sees April 2, 2025, as one of the most significant days in modern American history. The U.S. is one of the most open economies in the world and has the best consumer base while many countries are closing their doors to U.S. exports.

Concerns about global economic inflation have led organizations and individuals to withdraw money en masse from venture investment channels, with the cryptocurrency sector facing tremendous impacts, and capital is fleeing rapidly in the past 24 hours!
Wishing everyone good luck.

Red candles are sweeping the market devastatingly!
At this stage, more than 98% of small and medium investors have run out of financial capacity to buy additional products! This could be what the market makers desire!

In a panic market context, it will be both a promising story and a warning.
Investors should consider: When the product price drops below its intrinsic value, this could be a buying opportunity. And when the price far exceeds its real value, that is the time to consider selling or maintaining a cautious stance. It is important to stay cautious in a market where everything can change quickly.

Wishing everyone wise decisions and good luck.

The catastrophic decline of the cryptocurrency market in the past 24 hours has shaken the crypto world! It can be seen as one of the most tragic events in the history of cryptocurrency!

If you are panicking, desperate, and selling off as the market bleeds red! That is exactly what the whales and Market Makers want - You have fallen into the trap set by the whales and MM!

A bear market will create the next bull market! Are you regretting selling off in your panic? Are you a survivor of the storm or have you been swept away?

Possibly: Rewards will only appear when your resilience surpasses the panic that the whales and MM have unleashed!
Wishing you good luck.

Comparing last season and this season shows that the Market Maker has coordinated the market in a completely different way than last season!

Last season, the Market Maker coordinated the KILL market with DUMPS, red sticks breaking the bottom, making everyone think this market is a scam,...!

This season is completely different! Because the current players have too much experience and are quite hardened with the market. So the Market Maker has to play with psychological tactics, building trust and slowly rugging... in the end, it could be an extremely long red candle piercing through all old bottoms to wipe out all margins!

Whether we need that red candle or not is hard to say, because currently, the Market Maker has nearly achieved what they want:

- The entire market is extremely frustrated, and it’s hard to find anyone who still believes in the market like at the beginning!

- Even the most veteran HOLDERS are starting to worry and hesitate about the market.

That may be what the Market Maker wants, and the market still has to follow its cyclical nature, following what needs to happen!

Small waves can change, but big waves do not. Do the current players still have enough faith in it?

Only time will answer the predictions of Immutable Laws, whether they are true or not!
