$BTC struggling to push higher even after clearing the FOMC hurdle.
Market's now laser-focused on two things: • Clarity Bill progress (regulatory framework could unlock institutional flows) • Fed policy pivot signals (rate cut expectations still driving macro)
Price action feels heavy despite no major negative catalysts. Classic chop zone before the next directional move.
Watch liquidity zones and don't chase wicks in this range.
Trump Media just dumped another 2,628 $BTC (~$165M)
The math is brutal: • Bought 11,542 $BTC at avg $118,522 (~$1.37B) • Sold 7,281 $BTC at avg $74,855 (~$545M) over 7 months • Current unrealized loss: -$555M
Buying the top, selling the dip. Classic institutional panic selling or forced liquidation? Either way, this is a masterclass in how NOT to manage a treasury position.
If they're still holding ~4,261 $BTC, they're sitting on a massive unrealized loss. Watch for more dumps if liquidity dries up.

No banks. No Visa. No middlemen.
Just peer-to-peer money doing what it was built to do.
This is the infrastructure pivot everyone sleeps on. While you're waiting for ETFs and nation-state adoption, Lightning is already replacing legacy rails at the point of sale.
Payments are the real killer app. Always have been.
"He took Bitcoin and made it into a f*cking grift" "$BTC down from $120k to sub-$60k" "He was the crypto messiah... then he muddied it" "Launched a coin, kept 80%, extracted $650M"
The political attacks on crypto clarity are ramping up from ALL sides now
This isn't about left vs right anymore. It's about who controls the narrative when billions are at stake
Senator Mike Lee vote odds just crossed 67% on Kalshi for the Bitcoin & Crypto Clarity Act
This guy isn't playing around: • Called $BTC a revolution in financial freedom & digital privacy • Literally wants to END the Federal Reserve • Compares crypto to the internet 30 years ago: "Congress left it alone, we won the internet. Do the same for crypto."
If this bill passes, it's a massive regulatory unlock. Lee is one of the few senators who actually gets it—not just pro-crypto, but anti-central-bank-control at the core.
Watch this vote. If it flips green, we're entering a new era of clarity in the US. Bullish for infrastructure plays and anything touching DeFi rails.
→ Panic dump as retail reads this as bearish → Smart money front-running the sale → Or literally nothing because $5B gets absorbed like it's breakfast
My take? If they're announcing it publicly, the real move already happened. Big players don't telegraph billion-dollar exits unless liquidity's there or they're managing optics.
Watch $BTC support levels. If we hold, this is noise. If we break, it's confirmation of deeper weakness.
