Bitcoin experienced volatility as concerns over the Federal Reserve's independence triggered market risk aversion. According to QCP Capital, Bitcoin, gold, and silver initially rose in early Asian trading due to a weakening US dollar. The market reacted to the US Department of Justice's subpoenas and potential criminal charges against the Federal Reserve, perceived as a challenge to its policy independence. Despite the limited economic impact, the questioning of central bank independence increased demand for alternative value reserves. Bitcoin surged but failed to break through $92,000, retreating at the European market opening. Meanwhile, gold and silver maintained their upward momentum. The derivatives market showed a delayed bullish response, with investors rolling over high-priced call options to March. Market attention now shifts to the US CPI release on January 13th and the Supreme Court's tariff ruling on January 14th.
