Bitcoin Traders Expect Fast Move to $90K After CLARITY Act Vote

Bitcoin traders expected a quick move toward $90,000 after the upcoming CLARITY Act vote on Thursday, as improving market conditions and easing short-term sell pressure support an upside move.

Bitcoin has traded around the $80,000 level over the past week, with the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) remaining key overhead resistance. More than $3 billion in leveraged long positions are clustered between $79,000 and $78,000, suggesting BTC could briefly retest that range before attempting another breakout above the 200-day EMA.

The CLARITY Act vote represents a significant catalyst for the cryptocurrency market. Market analysts note that regulatory clarity has historically boosted investor confidence in digital assets. [INTERNAL: Bitcoin ETF] products have also contributed to institutional adoption, potentially supporting price momentum.

Short-term holder sell pressure has eased considerably, indicating that retail investors are holding positions rather than capitulating. This reduction in forced selling removes a headwind for price appreciation. Traders monitor daily technical levels closely as BTC approaches resistance zones.

Market participants, including MN Capital founder Michaël van de Poppe, remained bullish on near-term prospects. The convergence of regulatory optimism, technical setup, and reduced selling pressure creates conditions favorable for upside movement. However, traders await confirmation from the CLARITY Act vote outcome before committing to larger positions.

The $90,000 target represents an approximate 12% gain from $80,000 levels. Achievement of this level would establish a new psychological milestone and potentially trigger additional buying interest from momentum traders and institutions.
