Key Points
- The U.S. Senate failed to secure the 60 votes needed to pass the Clarity Act, a bill intended to provide a regulatory framework for digital assets.
- Bitcoin initially rallied in anticipation but then sold off 4% after the bill's failure, reflecting increased regulatory uncertainty.
- Technically, Bitcoin is consolidating above its 200-day Simple Moving Average (around $74,600), which is a bullish sign, with resistance noted at $80,000.
- Historically, October is a bullish month for Bitcoin, and the four-year halving cycle also suggests a potential shift in favor of bulls.
