The crypto market experienced its largest short squeeze since the "10/11 crash" this week, with investor sentiment shifting from fear to greed. Nicolai Sondergaard, research analyst at crypto data analytics platform Nansen, stated that rising uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's independence and geopolitical concerns are structurally positive factors for Bitcoin. While precious metals remain the primary beneficiaries of the current market environment, Bitcoin is increasingly becoming part of the discussion as an alternative reserve asset, and the criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell could bring a "risk premium" to BTC. Market data shows that Bitcoin's price has risen 10.6% year-to-date, while the US Dollar Index (DXY) has risen 0.75% over the same period. (Cointelegraph)
