Oil prices are surging 15%! Amid the chaos in the Middle East, I’m only doing these two things

#International Oil Prices Rising

 

🔥 First, let’s highlight the key points

WTI crude jumped 15% in a blowout, with the settlement price breaking above $110, while Brent crude directly shot up to 140—hitting the highest level since 2008!
The conflict between the US and Iran has fully escalated. Iran has launched a comprehensive counterattack, and the situation in the Middle East has completely gotten out of control. The alarm for a global energy crisis has been sounded immediately.

 

📊 First thing: crude oil—just watch, don’t chase the highs

I didn’t touch this whole run-up at all, and I absolutely don’t recommend entering now.
Crude oil right now is simply a pure tool of geopolitical gamesmanship. Its rise and fall all depends on the situation in the Middle East. Up 15% today, and tomorrow a ceasefire message alone can directly smash through it—volatility is extreme to the point of being ridiculous.
Chasing in at high levels means becoming a bag-holder for someone else—the money earned by licking blood off the blade. Ordinary people can’t make money from this, and there’s no need to try.

 

🪙 Second thing: crypto—position on dips, and hold tight to the mainstream

Compared with crude oil, I’ve thrown all my firepower into the crypto market.

- Core logic: Oil prices surge = inflation spirals out of control = the Federal Reserve shifts policy = expectations for tighter global liquidity are thrown off. In the short term, it’s bearish, but in the long term, BTC, as non-sovereign digital “gold” that resists inflation, is the best safe-haven asset in times of chaos—funds will only flow here.
- Trading approach: Don’t chase the highs. Only build your position in batches during pullbacks. Hold only absolute mainstream coins like BTC and ETH. Completely give up speculation on small-cap coins. Set strict stop-losses without fail, never go all-in, and always leave enough room for backup.
- Core mindset: In chaotic times, don’t bet on fast money—only earn money with certainty. Use idle funds for investment and speculation without affecting your life or your mindset.

 

💡 Finally, a reminder for everyone

In today’s market, there is no asset that is absolutely safe.
Whether it’s crude oil or crypto, both are being driven by geopolitical sentiment, with huge uncertainties.
Controlling your position size, strictly setting stop-losses, and protecting your principal are always the top priorities.
Surviving matters more than anything else.
