Both Events Everyone Feared Just Happened. $BTC Went Up Anyway The week's two biggest risks both broke the wrong way. Bitcoin closed higher regardless. The Senate's CLARITY Act cloture vote failed 49-50, four votes short of the 60 needed to open floor debate. The bill didn't die over its SEC/CFTC framework; it died over ethics language tied to Trump's $1.4 billion in personal crypto income. The next day, the Fed delivered its first rate hike since 2023, a unanimous 25bp move to 3.75-4.00%, with Chair Warsh calling financial conditions "not clearly restrictive" and leaving the door open to more. By the textbook, that's two consecutive bearish catalysts landing back to back. Bitcoin slid to a three-week low near $75,000 as both hit; then reversed hard. Short sellers got run over, price ripped back above $80,000, and briefly touched $82,000 over the weekend before Middle East headlines clipped about $2,000 off the top. $BTC now sits near $81,000, up roughly 5% on the week, having reclaimed its 50-week moving average; a level that has historically marked the end of previous bear phases. Whether this weekend's close holds above it is what technical analysts are actually watching now, not the Fed or the Senate. Two failed binary events. One market that stopped flinching. #BTC Price Analysis# #Bitcoin Price Prediction: What is Bitcoins next move?#
