The decline follows a combination of the U.S. Senate\u2019s failure to advance the <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/The_NewsCrypto\/status\/2100135698774790211\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">CLARITY Act<\/a>, heavy ETF outflows and growing caution ahead of the Federal Reserve\u2019s interest-rate decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The immediate shock came from Washington. The Senate voted 49-50 on Tuesday on a procedural motion to advance the CLARITY Act, falling well short of the 60 votes required. <a href=\"https:\/\/thenewscrypto.com\/bitcoin-btc-is-struggling-does-the-path-back-to-80k-still-hold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Bitcoin dropped<\/a> about 4% after the vote, while crypto-linked stocks including Coinbase also moved sharply lower.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The selling continued into Wednesday as traders waited for the Fed\u2019s decision. Markets are widely expecting a 25-basis-point rate hike, but the bigger focus is likely to be on the central bank\u2019s guidance for the months ahead. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield recently moved above 5%, its highest level since 2007, keeping pressure on risk assets.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-etf-outflows-add-to-bitcoin-s-selling-pressure\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">ETF Outflows Add to Bitcoin\u2019s Selling Pressure<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Institutional flows have also turned less supportive. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded about $450.33 million in net outflows on September 15, their largest single-day withdrawal since June 25, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/sosovalue.com\/assets\/etf\/us-btc-spot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">SoSoValue<\/a> data. Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs together lost roughly $592 million during the session.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>(Source: SoSoValue)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The market is also dealing with forced selling. The <a href=\"https:\/\/thenewscrypto.com\/former-cftc-chair-says-sec-and-cftc-can-advance-crypto-rules-after-clarity-vote\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">CLARITY Act Senate vote<\/a> triggered a wave of long-position liquidations across crypto derivatives, adding to the downward move as leveraged traders were forced to close positions. Over 117,410 traders were liquidated, totaling $659.08M in the past 24 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From a price perspective, $75,000 is the key level to watch now. BTC dipped to around $74,984 today, so this area is already being tested after the recent sell-off. The 4-hour chart shows sellers still in control for now, with BTC trading below the 9-period SMA around $76,315. RSI has also dropped to 31.85, showing that selling has become stretched and a short-term bounce is possible.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>(Source: TradingView)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For BTC to stabilize, the first step would be getting back above $77,000\u2013$78,000. That would help ease the current <a href=\"https:\/\/thenewscrypto.com\/robert-kiyosaki-warns-global-market-crash-has-started-amid-rising-risks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">selling pressure<\/a> and put the price back above the short-term moving average. If buyers can push further, $80,000\u2013$82,000 remains the bigger resistance area. For now, though, $75,000 is the level that matters most. A clean break below it would leave the recent $74,984 low exposed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, Bitcoin\u2019s move is being driven by several pressures at once: the CLARITY Act setback, weaker ETF demand, elevated Treasury yields and positioning ahead of the Fed decision. The next major price reaction will depend heavily on how markets interpret the Fed\u2019s rate decision and guidance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Highlighted Crypto News:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thenewscrypto.com\/confidential-robinhood-data-allegedly-fueled-hyperliquid-trades-two-engineers-charged\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Confidential Robinhood Data Allegedly Fueled Hyperliquid Trades: Two Engineers Charged<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin fell below $75K after the Senate\u2019s CLARITY Act setback.
