The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced a couple of days ago a series of rules for the crypto market that front-run the approval of the Clarity Act. This move reassured the market that the current administration will do its best to support the sectorβs growth.
Moreover, President Donald Trump met with crypto executives at the White House and reiterated his commitment to push this key piece of legislation until it makes its way to his desk β ideally, this year.

Market participants reacted quite positively and fully ignored yesterdayβs hawkish comments found in the last FOMC minutes.
Bitcoin moved from $64,312.9 to $77,178.7 over the last 30-day period, a gain of 20.0 percent.

BTC has now booked a 24% gain in the past 7 days alone, and broke past multiple resistances that we had set forth as short-term targets for the top crypto in previous Bitcoin price prediction articles.

This is the first time that BTC is trading above this technical indicator since November 2025, and it could mark the beginning of the next bull market.
