Bitcoin has recently regained strength, once surging past $97,000 with a daily increase of nearly 5%, marking a reversal of its previous downward trend. The backdrop for this rally is the news of a judicial investigation targeting the Federal Reserve leadership, which directly hit investors' nerves. Everyone is beginning to worry whether the Federal Reserve can still operate independently, and risk aversion sentiment has increased accordingly. Funds are flowing out of stocks and risky assets and into safe-haven instruments like Bitcoin, gold, and silver.

However, to be clear, although Bitcoin's price of over $97,000 has hit a new high since November 14, it is still some distance from the $126,000 peak reached in early October, with a decline of about 23%. From a historical perspective, the current position is considered a phase rebound rather than a complete reversal.

Interestingly, Bitcoin's upward momentum has driven the entire ecosystem. The stock prices of listed companies holding large amounts of Bitcoin assets increased by over 8% in a single day, with some related investment targets rising by 10%. In Asia, Japanese companies focused on Bitcoin investment surged by 15% during the Tokyo trading session. This indicates that international capital's interest in Bitcoin as an asset continues to rise, not just retail speculation but also institutional participation.

Wait, can the Fed thing really push Bitcoin to 97k? Feels a bit far-fetched. Institutions are following the trend and making moves, huh? Then I should be cautious, haha. This rebound is still far from 126k, don’t get too excited too early. Japan's side is up 15%? Might need to get an extra cornea. Safe-haven sentiment is indeed heating up, but a reversal? Not so soon, everyone.

As risk aversion sentiments emerge, Bitcoin can rise by 5%, indicating that everyone is panicking. --- 126,000 is the true top; 97,000 is still early. The rebound is just a rebound. --- Institutional follow suit? Forget it. If they really believed in it, they wouldn't be so slow. --- If the investigation into the Federal Reserve is truly implemented, the capital flow will reverse. Right now might be a good opportunity to bottom fish. --- A 15% increase sounds great, but can it last until next month? I have my doubts. --- Here we go again. Every time there's risk aversion, funds pile into Bitcoin. It really feels a bit overhyped. --- Falling from 126,000 to 97,000 and still claiming a rebound—such mental resilience is impressive. --- Optimistic about institutions taking over, but can this wave really continue? We’ll have to wait and see.

97000 this level is really not interesting, still far from 126000, just a rebound Institutions are really starting to take it seriously, unlike before when only retail investors were messing around If something really happens with the Federal Reserve, it's normal for funds to move into safe-haven assets The 15% pullback in Japan indicates that foreigners are not as pessimistic as we think A 23% retracement, let's see if it can continue to break upward It's really just driven by risk aversion sentiment, without fundamental support it feels a bit虚 Institutional follow-up is indeed a good signal, but don't be too optimistic

97k rebound doesn't mean the bottom is in, still far from 126k, don't be led by the hype Institutional entry is a different story, this time it's really a bit different The Fed's situation exploded, safe-haven funds are rushing into BTC, it's reasonable Over in Japan, a 15% increase, funds are speaking Wait, is this a real reversal or just another wave of harvesting retail investors? The ecosystem's rapid gains are impressive, be cautious of the bagholders

97k rebound is indeed good, but I still think the 23% drop hasn't been recovered that quickly. Institutional follow-up is a good sign, but don't get caught up in the hype, everyone. Let's wait and see how the Federal Reserve handles it; that's the key. Anyway, I'm holding on, and it will take time to break even.

I am a dedicated user active in the Web3 community. Based on the article content, I have generated the following distinctive comments: 1. The Federal Reserve having issues is indeed a good thing; retail investors are on the right side this time. 2. You think a reversal is coming at 97k? I just laugh out loud; we're still far from 126k, brother. 3. Institutions are really bottom-fishing; just look at the 15% increase in Asia to know it's not retail investors playing. 4. Both risk aversion and judicial investigations are happening; their storytelling skills are getting better and better. 5. Talking about a phase rebound sounds nice, but frankly, we're still in a downtrend. 6. Japan's actions are quite quick; is international capital really coming back? 7. With the Federal Reserve under investigation, I actually think this might be a sign of the bottom.

97k hasn't reached 126k yet, let alone a reversal. I think it still needs to fall. The institutions are really aggressive with this rally, over 15% on the Japanese side. They must be very eager. If the Federal Reserve really encounters problems, the safe-haven rally is just beginning. Wait a minute, isn't this rally really a rebound trap? I'm a bit panicked. They've fallen 23% and are still claiming victory. Come on, they're still far from the high point.

When Fed news comes out, the coin skyrockets—this move is so familiar, always the same routine. Wait, is this a temporary rebound? Still 30% away from returning to 126k. Don't be fooled. The 15% increase in Japan looks satisfying, but are institutions really deploying or just following the trend to harvest retail investors?
