The primary driver for this momentum is the significant progress in the United States regarding the CLARITY Act Specifically the final compromise proposal on stablecoin yields released on May 1 2026 has removed a major layer of regulatory uncertainty Following this development Bitcoin broke through the 80000 USD resistance level mid week reaching three month highs and currently trades near 81850 USD
