Bitcoin's sharp surge today may seem abrupt, but the logic is quite clear. Breaking it down, there are three main forces at play.



First is the macroeconomic shift. The US December CPI increased by 2.7% year-on-year, fully within expectations, indicating that inflation has finally stabilized and is no longer running wild. With this, the story of aggressive rate hikes by the Federal Reserve can be set aside for now, and the market's previously assumed room for rate cuts remains intact. For all risk assets, this is like the darkest cloud overhead finally dispersing.

Second is the erosion of trust in the traditional financial system. The news that Federal Reserve Chair Powell is under criminal investigation may not directly impact interest rate decisions, but it touches on a critical issue—the independence of central banks is beginning to be questioned. At this moment, Bitcoin's narrative of non-sovereign, censorship-resistant assets becomes especially attractive. When the foundation of the system shows signs of instability, funds naturally flow into decentralized assets.

Finally, technical factors are aligning. The price has found sufficient support in the key range of $90,500 to $91,200, largely digesting the selling pressure from previous ETF outflows. A decisive breakthrough above $92,000 resistance has opened the chart, attracting a flood of trend-following buy orders. Improved macro narratives, technical breakthroughs, and capital recognition—these three factors together have created today's unstoppable rally.

That said, with such a rapid short-term rise, a correction to digest profit-taking and test support levels is inevitable. The risk of chasing the top is already accumulating at this point, requiring patience and rationality.

I have a clear understanding of this wave of market movements. The technical support at 90500-91200 is indeed solid, and the surge in buy orders after breaking through 92000 aligns with my recent forecast of computing power return on investment. Actually, stabilizing the CPI is more critical for long-term holders like me. The market's anxiety has finally eased. Powell's actions hit the mark. When the central bank's credibility wavers, the attractiveness of non-sovereign assets indeed increases exponentially. This is nothing new. Chasing high in the short term does carry risks of accumulation. I plan to gradually build positions in the 92000-93000 range rather than going all in. From a mining perspective, the expansion of the computing network during this difficulty adjustment cycle is already foreseeable. But don’t be fooled by the price rally. The real test is in digesting the profit-taking. We need to see the support test results first.

The fact that Powell is being investigated is truly incredible; only if the central bank's independence collapses will Bitcoin have a chance.

The fact that Powell is under investigation is truly unbelievable; the independence of the central bank has collapsed even more than the expectations of rate cuts can hype up.
