Clarity Act on the Clock: Bitcoin Rallies as Legislation Faces Key Deadline

• Bitcoin rallied above $72,000, up over 6% today and 11% this week, breaking key technical resistance levels (100-day and 200-day moving averages).
• Ethereum also saw a significant surge, up over 10% today and 20% this week, trading around $2300.
• The rally is attributed to former President Trump's urging for the passage of the Clarity Act, a crypto summit at the White House, positive comments from the CFTC head, over $1 billion in inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs, and a record $2.7 billion short squeeze on Wednesday.
• Future catalysts include potential Fed policy signals from the Jackson Hole meeting and upcoming IPOs like Anthropic, which could draw capital from crypto markets.
