Yes — the CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate, 49–50, falling short of the 60 votes needed. BTC reacted negatively, briefly trading around $75K–$76K. 

What happens next? 👇

1. CLARITY Act = short-term negative 🔴
The market loses the regulatory catalyst it was expecting. The bill could potentially be revised and brought back later, but the 2026 legislative path now looks much harder. 

2. Now the Fed is the BIG event 🏦
The Fed decision is today, Sept. 16. Markets are heavily focused on whether rates rise and, more importantly, what Powell says about future policy. 

3. BTC scenario
• 🔴 Hawkish Fed: BTC could test $73K–75K, potentially lower if liquidations accelerate.
• 🟡 Fed surprises dovish: BTC could recover the CLARITY losses and push back toward $78K–80K.
• 🟢 Dovish + strong risk appetite: $80K+ becomes possible.

Bottom line: The CLARITY disappointment is already partly reflected in the price. The Fed is now the main trigger. Expect big volatility rather than a smooth move over the next 24–48 hours.

If you’re trading leverage, I’d be especially careful around the Fed announcement—BTC can move thousands of dollars very quickly.
