Everyone thinks a green candle means clear skies ahead, but regulatory votes rarely play by the rules of technical analysis.

Too many investors jump into momentum rallies right before major political events, only to get caught in sudden volatility when headlines drop.

With $BTC hovering near $78,700 and $XRP trading around $1.41, the market looks deceptively confident ahead of Tuesday's procedural vote on the CLARITY Act. Think of this vote like clearing airport security. It is merely the first checkpoint, requiring 60 Senate votes starting at 2:15 p.m. ET just to open debate, not sign the bill into law.

Meanwhile, pushback from 18 state attorneys general proves the legal landscape is far more complex than price charts suggest. Rushing into positions before understanding the actual legislative process is how traders turn a short-term rally into an unexpected trap.

Where do you think this goes from here?
