Let me remind friends who come across my posts again: Whether you are my followers or not, the bullish trend is not over. Do not hold short positions for a long time. Do not be misled by those square streamers who cannot see the trend clearly. After a pullback, consolidation, and accumulation, the next wave will rise even more fiercely.

Gate.io news: CryptoNews reports that self-custody means holding your own private keys rather than trusting exchanges. After the collapses of FTX, Celsius, and Mt. Gox, many people still leave their cryptocurrencies on platforms. Self-custody is one of the foundational concepts of cryptocurrency, but it is practiced less often. Bitcoin’s promise is that users can hold value directly without needing banks or brokers. Holding keys means taking responsibility; if the keys are lost, the funds cannot be recovered. Self-custody methods are divided into hot wallets and cold wallets: hot wallets are online and suitable for small transactions, while cold wallets store private keys offline and are more secure. Users need to understand how to securely store seed phrases to avoid losing funds due to loss or disclosure. Users who choose self-custody should allocate funds between hot wallets and cold wallets based on the size of their funds and how frequently they use them to reduce risk.

MUFG analyst Soojin Kim noted that gold prices are under pressure as market attention shifts to cooling inflation expectations and the prospect of renewed peace talks between Iran and the United States.

CoinsWorld News, citing Iran's Press TV, reports that U.S. President Donald Trump has once again ordered all oil revenues under his control in Iraq to be deposited into accounts at the New York Federal Reserve. Executive Order 13303 was originally signed after the 2003 U.S. military operation in Iraq and has been renewed annually ever since, each time on the grounds of "national security." The White House did not issue a press release on the matter, but Trump sent a formal notification to Congress on May 4 regarding the extension of the order. In the formal notification, Trump stated: "Obstacles to the orderly reconstruction of Iraq, the restoration and maintenance of peace and security within the country, and the development of political, administrative, and economic institutions continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. Therefore, this executive order must remain in effect beyond May 22, 2026."

$BTC volatility is asleep. And that's usually when things get interesting.
Implied volatility across the entire options curve has dropped to multi-year lows, even below 2023 summer levels.
Calm conditions are spreading across all expiries. Traders aren't pricing in major moves, and hedging demand remains unusually weak across the board.
When volatility gets compressed this deeply, it rarely stays there forever.
The market is becoming comfortable with silence. I've seen this setup before. The longer the compression lasts, the more explosive the eventual expansion tends to be.
Bitcoin is approaching a major volatility inflection point. The next move could be far bigger than most expect.
