The recent surge in Bitcoin's price may seem sudden, but there are clear signs of underlying factors at play. The main drivers come from three aspects.



First, inflation data has finally stabilized. The US December CPI year-over-year increase was 2.7%, fully in line with market expectations, and month-over-month figures also showed no deterioration. What does this mean? The Federal Reserve can hold interest rates steady for now, as inflation isn't rebounding and there's no risk of a hard landing for the economy. The market is already largely convinced that the probability of the Fed maintaining current rates in January is as high as 97%. For risk assets like Bitcoin, this news directly removes a major obstacle, encouraging funds to flow in.

Second, changing market expectations are also fueling the rally. As uncertainties in the traditional financial system increase, investors are seeking assets that are less directly controlled by governments for hedging. Bitcoin, as a decentralized and censorship-resistant digital asset, has been redefined as a "hedging tool." When other sectors face issues, many funds turn their attention to this independent alternative asset.

Technical analysis also supports the upward trend. Bitcoin previously oscillated between $90,500 and $91,200, with bulls defending this range. Today’s breakout through the key resistance level of $92,000 has triggered a wave of follow-on buying, creating self-reinforcing upward momentum. Additionally, although recent ETF outflows have occurred, once the price stabilizes, the pressure on funds eases, and capital begins to flow back in.

The triple positive factors—favorable macro data, rising hedging demand, and technical breakthroughs—combine to attract capital. However, the short-term rally has already been quite steep, and whether it can hold steady depends on how market sentiment evolves. For those looking to enter, caution against chasing the high is advised; waiting for better entry opportunities may be a wiser choice.

Oh no, it's the same old story of using inflation data to rescue the market... When the Federal Reserve stays silent, funds rush in. This wave indeed doesn't seem so random. Friends chasing the high should be cautious. Breaking 92K is satisfying, but such steep increases often set traps for retail investors. It's quite ironic to see the positioning of safe-haven assets. Not long ago, people were criticizing Bitcoin as a gambling asset, and now they're saying it's a safe-haven tool... Capital is so fickle. The outflow and subsequent inflow of ETFs? The real trick is that funds are just doing high selling and low buying, not genuinely optimistic. Short-term sentiment is too unpredictable. Instead of following the trend, it's better to wait a bit longer. There are definitely more advantageous opportunities ahead.

Are the chives trying to chase the high again? Thinking of getting in at 92k? That's hilarious.

Ha, it's the same logic again. As long as inflation stabilizes, you'll dare to push? I think this wave is rising too fast, it feels a bit fake. Those chasing the high are probably just retail investors. I'll wait for a correction before acting. Can we really hold the 92k level? It's a bit uncertain. Is this risk aversion demand reliable, or is it just funds speculating on concepts? This short-term increase is indeed rapid. Be careful of a pullback, everyone.

92,000 has been broken, but this wave of gains is indeed a bit fierce. It feels like those chasing the high should be a bit cautious.

Damn, it's the same old story. As long as CPI is stable, they dare to go all in. Get ready for a dump, everyone.

Are you only willing to act once inflation data stabilizes? This round of buying seems well justified, but can the 92,000 level hold? It feels like we need to see how the next few days perform.

Here we go again, once inflation stabilizes, we'll just surge. I've heard this logic a hundred times haha Breaking 92,000 and following the trend? I think this increase is a bit fake.
