Clarity ACT

Bitcoin stayed near the $75,000 mark despite a Federal Reserve rate increase and the U.S. Senate’s failure to advance the Clarity Act. Traders now see the market caught between range-bound consolidation, regulatory uncertainty, and a possible breakout if price can clear $80,000.

XRP has rallied for two straight days after briefly slipping below its 200-day exponential moving average, with traders now watching for confirmation above $1.50. A bull flag setup points to a possible move toward $2.10, implying 46% upside if momentum continues.

The CFTC has sent an undisclosed crypto market proposal to the White House Office of Management and Budget after the CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate.

Solana is attempting to hold the $100 level after recovering from a dip toward $96 following the Federal Reserve’s widely expected rate hike. A move above $105 could strengthen the bullish case toward $120, while a failure to hold key support may expose SOL to a deeper retest.

Ethereum has bounced from a key support zone after a widely expected Federal Reserve rate hike, keeping a closely watched bull flag structure alive. Technical traders are now watching the $2,550 area and a potential volume-based buy signal that could shape the next short-term move.

Zcash is outperforming a weaker crypto market, rising 7% in the past 24 hours as many major tokens fall after a failed Clarity Act vote in the United States. On-chain usage, rising shielded transactions and a bullish consolidation pattern are keeping $1,750 in play if ZEC confirms a breakout above $1,300.
