📉 Altcoins continue to bleed amid the “Sell in May” effect. 📊 Performance data over the past 7 days shows that most altcoin categories remain deep in the red. Notably, the worst-performing sectors were ICOs (-17.4%) and AI Agents (-16.7%). 👉 Meanwhile, $BTC is still holding a modest gain of +1.09% since the beginning of May. However, Bitcoin’s strength appears insufficient to lift the broader altcoin market, as overall sentiment remains weak and capital has yet to flow back into higher-risk assets. 🕯 In the local market, the P2P USDT/VND rate has remained relatively stable over the past few days, suggesting that fresh capital inflows are still fairly cautious.

🚨 Samsung Strike Concerns Eased Sharply After Court Ruling Samsung stock price surged more than 4% right after the Korean court issued an injunction limiting the scope of the strike at the world's largest chip factory. 🟢 The Suwon District Court yesterday (18/5/2026) partially approved Samsung’s request, strictly limiting the 18-day strike that the union planned to start this Thursday. 🟢 The court requires full staffing to be maintained to ensure safety, protect equipment, and maintain product quality throughout the strike period. 🟢 The union is banned from occupying or locking factory gates or obstructing workers from entering. Violations will be fined 100 million won per day (approximately $74,000). 🟢 RESULT: The possibility of disruption to Samsung’s chip production has decreased significantly. Lawyers call this ruling “rare” but necessary because the semiconductor industry cannot suddenly stop its machines. 🟢 South Korea’s Prime Minister Kim Min-seok on Sunday called this the “last chance” for both sides to reach an agreement, warning that if the strike occurs, the economic damage would be “unimaginable”. @BackcomGlobal

🚨 US STOCK MARKET LEVERAGE HITS NEW RECORD: $1.304 TRILLION! Is the entire market going “all-in” or is this just a strong bullish signal? According to FINRA, April 2026 margin debt surged +$83 billion from March, pushing the total to $1.304 trillion – the highest level in history. Up +53% from the same period last year. This includes: 🖤 ~5.2% of US GDP 🖤 Equivalent to 1.8–1.9% of total market capitalization 🖤 Increased $453 billion in just the past 12 months 🟢 Investors (especially retail) are extremely optimistic, particularly on AI/Tech. Capital is pouring in heavily, showing extremely high confidence. 🔻 BUT: The risk of a margin call cascade is very large. If the market corrects sharply (interest rates, inflation, recession), a chain-reaction sell-off will occur. History shows margin debt usually peaks right before major crashes (2000, 2008). Right now the market is still “hot,” but leverage at record levels also means vulnerability is at an all-time high. @BackcomTradingClub

⚠️ Tensions between the U.S. and Iran are reportedly escalating once again. ❗️ According to the NYT, the U.S. and Israel are carrying out their largest military buildup since the April 8 ceasefire, with a potential conflict possibly breaking out as early as this week. On May 19, President Trump is expected to hold a meeting to discuss military options targeting Iran. 👉 More than 50,000 U.S. troops, two carrier strike groups, and dozens of fighter jets remain deployed across the Middle East. Scenarios under consideration reportedly include expanded airstrikes or special forces operations targeting uranium facilities in Isfahan. ⚡️ Meanwhile, negotiations mediated by Pakistan have been deadlocked for weeks. Iran has yet to agree to halt uranium enrichment or reopen the Strait of Hormuz. 👉 Tehran also claims it has restored 30 out of 33 missile launch sites along the Strait of Hormuz and is prepared to retaliate if conflict erupts.

🔥 Iran has officially launched Hormuz Safe — an insurance service designed for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. 👀 The special highlight of this service is that payments are made entirely in $BTC. 🟢 According to Fars News Agency, Hormuz Safe is expected to generate more than $10B in revenue for Iran. 🟢 This is seen as a new step toward integrating Bitcoin into international trade and insurance activities. 📉 Following the news, $BTC has seen a pullback toward the $78K zone.

🚨 STRATEGY SPENDS $2B TO BUY MORE BITCOIN IN AGGRESSIVE TREASURY MOVE Strategy Inc. raised $2.03B through stock sales and quickly deployed nearly all proceeds to buy 24,869 bitcoin over a six-day period. The firm sold shares via multiple ATM programs, then purchased bitcoin at an average price of about $80,985, lifting total holdings to 843,738 BTC. Strategy continues to expand its bitcoin treasury strategy, with tens of billions in remaining fundraising capacity across its stock issuance programs. @BackcomGlobal

🇺🇸🇨🇳 The White House and China have just announced several additional agreements between the two countries: 🟢 China commits to purchasing at least $17 billion worth of U.S. agricultural products annually from 2026 to 2028 🟢 Beijing will reopen its market to U.S. beef and poultry imports 🟢 China agrees to address concerns related to rare earth supply chains 🟢 The U.S. will establish a U.S.–China Trade Board and Investment Council 🟢 China stated that both sides agreed to reduce tariffs and build a three-year “strategic stability” framework, although the U.S. side has not officially confirmed this yet 👉 These updates come after the first day of talks in Beijing, where the White House had previously mentioned agreements involving Boeing, oil, as well as several statements regarding Iran and Taiwan.

🎁 Fun Facts: Is China “helping” the US dominate global finance? While everyone is talking about America’s decline and China’s rise after the Beijing summit, the reality is completely the opposite in the financial arena 🤪 China is a “financially hobbled superpower”: 🟢 The renminbi accounts for just 2% of global foreign exchange reserves, even though China’s GDP represents 17% of the world economy. 🟢 China makes up 15% of global trade, yet only 2% of trade invoices are settled in renminbi. 🟢 China’s financial system remains tightly controlled, with foreign capital making up less than 5% of stocks & bonds (just 1/5 of the US level). 🟢 Massive domestic debt (money supply at 230% of GDP) plus strict capital controls mean Beijing doesn’t dare open up aggressively. 🟢 The result? The US continues to dominate thanks to the “exorbitant privilege” of the USD:

Low borrowing costs, easily sustainable twin deficits, and the ability to weaponize the dollar as an economic tool whenever it wants.

🟢 It is precisely China’s financial weakness that is inadvertently helping the US remain the “king” of the global markets. Unless Beijing dares to open up far more boldly, its superpower dream will remain just a dream forever. @BackcomGlobal

💥 US national debt is approaching the $40 trillion mark. 📉 While the Federal Reserve continues to keep interest rates at elevated levels, the US government is still borrowing more money to maintain operations and cover its financial obligations. ⚠️ What’s becoming increasingly concerning is that annual interest payments have now reached trillions of dollars, meaning the US is effectively issuing new debt just to service existing debt. 📊 This is also why more financial institutions are beginning to view Bitcoin, gold, and other scarce assets as long-term hedges against the potential devaluation of fiat currencies.

🚨 SAMSUNG'S POSITION IN THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY 2026 Samsung is currently leading the world in semiconductor revenue for 2026 with an expected ~200 billion USD, occupying 12–15% of the global market share. Samsung dominates most strongly in the Memory segment:

🖤 DRAM: ~35–38% (No. 1 in the world) 🖤 NAND Flash: ~27–32% (No. 1 in the world) 🖤 HBM (high-end AI chips): Top 2, closely chasing SK Hynix

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Which “big players” are likely to be most affected? 🙄 🟢 Hyperscalers Group (Big Tech Cloud) - Largest buyers for AI Data Centers These companies are “pouring money” into buying HBM + Server DRAM with long-term contracts (multi-year):

🖤 Microsoft (Azure): One of the largest customers, spending tens of billions USD on memory. 🖤 Google (Alphabet / Google Cloud): Strong orders for HBM and server DRAM. 🖤 Amazon (AWS): Large purchases to build data centers. 🖤 Meta (Facebook): Strongly increasing purchases for AI training/inference.

🟢 This group accounts for a very large proportion of Samsung’s HBM/Server DRAM revenue in 2026, as they are spending ~650–725 billion USD CapEx on AI infrastructure. 🟢 GPU/AI Accelerator Manufacturers

🖤 NVIDIA: Important customer for HBM (used in Blackwell, Rubin GPUs…). Samsung is supplying HBM3E/HBM4 to Nvidia. 🖤 AMD: Also buying HBM for the MI series.

🟢 Samsung’s HBM and Server DRAM supply is almost sold out for 2026–2027. Major customers are signing long-term contracts and paying premium prices to “reserve spots” in advance. 🟢 This is the reason why the global semiconductor and AI industry is currently heavily dependent on Samsung. 🟢 The US, Korean stock markets and Crypto will definitely drop due to this news, brothers follow closely! @BackcomGlobal

🚨 Over 40,000 Samsung Workers Launch Historic Strike! The largest collective strike in Samsung Electronics' history is about to erupt! The strike is taking place at the massive semiconductor complex in Pyeongtaek (South Korea) – the world's most important production site for DRAM memory chips, HBM, and AI chips. 🗓 Timeline: From May 21, 2026 to June 7, 2026 (18 consecutive days) 👀 Number of participants: Over 40,000–50,000 workers (who have committed to join) ❌ Negotiation Status:

Negotiations mediated by the South Korean government have completely failed. Samsung sent senior executives (including the Vice Chairman in charge of semiconductors) down to Pyeongtaek to meet the union, but the union remains determined to strike and will only return to negotiations after June 7.

💰 Main Reasons:

Workers are demanding a share of the massive profits from the AI chip boom: - Increase performance bonus to 15% of operating profit - Eliminate the bonus cap (currently max 50% of annual salary) - Comparison with rival SK Hynix (which pays much higher bonuses)

💥 Expected Impact:

- Damage to Samsung: ~$671 million per day → Total for 18 days could reach 20–30 trillion won (~$20 billion) - Globally: Disruption in supply of AI chips, RAM, HBM → chip prices surge, affecting laptops, servers, phones, and AI worldwide

🟢Samsung has already begun emergency production cuts since May 14 to prepare. 🟢 This is the first time the “giant” Samsung has faced such a major risk from its own employees over “sharing the AI profit pie.” @BackcomGlobal

🔴 THORChain has reportedly been hacked, with estimated losses of around $10 million. 📊 According to initial reports, the platform was exploited through a vulnerability that allowed hackers to steal approximately 36.75 BTC (~$3 million) along with over $7 million worth of tokens across BNBChain, Ethereum, and Base. THORChain has temporarily suspended trading while investigating the incident, and the exact cause has not yet been disclosed. ⚠️ What has drawn attention from the community is that THORChain had previously faced criticism for allegedly being used by hackers to launder funds from major exploits involving Bybit, KelpDAO, and Balancer. This time, however, the platform itself became the victim of a major exploit. 📉 Following the news, THORChain ($RUNE) dropped nearly 15%.

🔥 Today marks the official departure of Jerome Powell as Chair of the Federal Reserve. 📉 Looking back at the history of Bitcoin, every 4-year cycle — especially during periods of Fed leadership changes or after U.S. presidential elections — the market has typically experienced major corrections or sharp sell-offs. 📌 This time, the spotlight is on Kevin Warsh, the man expected to replace Powell. With family assets reportedly exceeding $2.3 billion, Warsh is being called the “wealthiest Fed Chair in history.” ❓ The big question now is whether Warsh can push markets against what many investors consider the traditional market “cycle.” ⚠️ Previously, when Gary Gensler stepped down from the SEC, many expected it to trigger an Altcoin Season. However, the market never moved as anticipated, and some investors even started “missing Gary,” while forgetting who replaced him. ⚡️ Although Powell faced criticism for aggressive rate hikes and reacting slowly to inflation, one thing is undeniable: during his tenure, Bitcoin delivered an extremely impressive ROI and became one of the best-performing assets in global financial markets.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 First Information From US-China Talks. 👉 The first details from the meeting between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing have been revealed, particularly regarding the Iran issue. 🖤 According to Trump, President Xi has offered to support the US in handling the Iran issue. Meanwhile, China also affirmed that it wants to maintain the free passage of the Strait of Hormuz. 🖤 Additionally, China has committed not to provide military equipment to Iran. 👉 These agreements could help ease tensions in the Middle East and stabilize global oil prices, which would benefit both the US and China.
