CLARITY Bill Senate Markup (May 14): Decides classification of crypto assets, exchange regulation framework.
Market Expectations:

4) Geopolitical and Macro Factors
US-Iran negotiations easing → Slight recovery in risk appetite, positive for BTC and other risk assets.
US Dollar Index: Hovering at high levels, no breakdown, limited but not eliminated pressure on crypto markets.

4. Tonight’s Trading Strategy (Simple and Direct)
BTC: Range-bound at $80,500–$82,000, avoid chasing highs or bottom-fishing;
Break above $82,600 with light positions for targets at $84,000;
Break below $79,500 with light positions for targets at $78,000.

ETH: Weakly linked, trade within $2,280–$2,320, buy the dips and sell the rips with strict stop-loss; no independent long positions.
Altcoins: Highly segmented, only focus on strong ones (like SOL), avoid coins without logic or funds.
Positioning: 30–50% of total, light positions, mainly watching and short-term trades before May 14, avoid heavy bets on direction.
