Key Market Drivers
--Regulatory Uncertainty: Bitcoin fell below the $97,000 mark earlier today after the Senate Banking Committee canceled a planned markup for the CLARITY Act, a bill intended to define the regulatory boundaries between the SEC and CFTC.
--Institutional Adoption: Despite the legislative stall, institutional support remains strong. MicroStrategy recently purchased 13,627 BTC for approximately $1.25 billion, bringing its total holdings to 687,410 BTC.
--Technical Breakout: Analysts note that Bitcoin has successfully broken above a key $95,000 resistance level that has capped the market since November 2025. Maintaining a close above $97,600 is considered critical to flipping the 50-week EMA back into support.
--Market Sentiment: The Crypto Fear and Greed Index flashed "Greed" at a level of 61 today, the first such reading since October, signaling a shift in investor sentiment following a prolonged period of caution.
