The CLARITY Act failed to pass, leaving hundreds of millions of dollars in lobbying funds with nothing to show for them.
Last night in Washington, the Senate held a procedural vote.
Result: 49 votes in favor, 50 against.
It fell 11 votes short of the 60-vote threshold for passage.
But in the final hour before the vote, the market was still betting that it would pass.
Then—nearly $300 million in crypto long positions were liquidated in an instant.
Within 24 hours, 115,716 people were liquidated.
Coinbase -10.10%
Circle -11.45%
Strategy -5.36%
Robinhood -3.39%
What about Bitcoin?
It fell just 4.

9.16 Morning BTC$BTC Analysis and Strategy
Last night, we anticipated in advance that the negative news would intensify. The Genius Act failed to pass, oil prices continued to rise, and the probability of a rate hike reached 92%. When BTC rebounded to around 77300, we decisively called for a short position. The market fell under pressure as expected, dropping all the way to around 74900 and precisely capturing over 2,000 points of profit! Brothers who followed the rhythm, we feasted on this move🥩—who understands the joy of seeing your account in the green!

$BTC Senate crypto clarity bill fails cloture vote, bitcoin slides
BTCUSD | 4H Technical Analysis — Sep 16, 2026
Bitcoin is under pressure after the US Senate failed to advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, the comprehensive crypto market structure bill the industry has spent years lobbying for. A procedural vote to bring the bill to the floor fell short 49 to 50, well below the 60 votes needed for cloture, plunging crypto-related stocks including Coinbase and reigniting uncertainty over whether the CFTC will ever gain the unified regulatory authority the industry has been seeking.

9.16 ETH Positioning Strategy
　ETH is now at the lower Bollinger Band, which is equivalent to short-term “floor support.” Previously, when the market touched this level, it basically stopped falling and rebounded. This time, after touching the bottom, it did not continue breaking to new lows, but instead stabilized around 2400. Today’s strategy is a short-term rebound after being oversold.
　Entry range: Light position around 2390, add to the position around 2475
　Stop-loss defense: Exit if it breaks below the previous low of 2355
　First target: Reduce the position by 60% around 2450

Tong Ge’s 9.16 BTC outlook
$BTC 762-767附近进空，止损773，第一目标750，第二目标740。
Current price: 75592. Yesterday, it slid all the way down from 79570, and after the bill failed to pass overnight, it was hammered straight down to 74909. Negative factors are piling up.
The market is waiting on just one thing now: whether the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates. Before the decision is announced, don’t bet heavily on a direction; prices will likely continue grinding at the lows.
762-767 remains the area to re-enter shorts. If it fails to hold, continue watching 750; if that breaks, then watch 740.

Everyone Is Watching the Fed But Bitcoin’s Real Move May Come After the Decision ‼️‼️
The crypto market is watching the Federal Reserve closely. Bitcoin traders are waiting to see what the Fed says about interest rates and, more importantly, what could happen next.
But the biggest Bitcoin move may not happen the moment the decision comes out.
Fed days are often messy. Bitcoin can jump quickly in one direction, reverse minutes later, and shake out traders on both sides. The first reaction is not always the real trend.
What matters more is how the market behaves after the initial excitement disa

The CLARITY vote failed to reach 60 votes. After policy expectations fell short, BTC briefly dropped to around $75,000, while long liquidations exceeded $500 million over the past 24 hours.
But the most important thing now is not emotion-driven bearishness, but verifying whether $75K can establish genuine support after the policy downside has been released. Holding $75K would only temporarily halt the decline; reclaiming $76.7K would mark an initial recovery, while breaking above $77.2K would significantly reduce the risk of a second test lower.

🔥 Futures are absolutely ripping today — multiple tokens are moving hard at the same time:

$龙虾 +29.18%

$VTHO +21.29%
$SAGA +15.06%

This looks more like broader capital rotation than one isolated pump. 👀📈 The real question now: which of these can hold strength after the first wave of profit-taking?
AKE has the strongest momentum, while ARB stands out for its deeper liquidity and cleaner participation.

#CLARITY法案未获通过 #Gate广场中秋团圆局 The CLARITY Act failed to pass a vote, and combined with tightening macro liquidity, this led to a sharp short-term Bitcoin correction, pushing it below $75,000 and causing market sentiment to weaken rapidly. However, this decline was essentially a drop driven by disappointed expectations and deleveraging. As the market leader, Bitcoin has been relatively resilient, while the overall market is in a transitional phase between “expectation recovery” and “weak recovery.” Future performance will depend on the macro environment, the recovery of market sentiment, and the

#BTC HTF Analysis:
It's encouraging to see $BTC hold steady without a sharp sell-off following the Crypto Clarity Act news. Short-term momentum has softened a bit with $BTC sliding under $76K after holding it nicely over the past few sessions.
Right now, price is dipping into a major support box between $76K and $71K. This area is packed with key horizontal levels from the Feb–April range. While they need to reconfirm their strength, I fully expect $BTC to print a strong bounce from this zone and push toward $87K.
A drop down to $66K remains a low-probability edge case. The overall macro outlo

#Current Market Conditions
Previous high: 2448.10; low: 2357.00. After the sharp decline, the price entered a sideways consolidation range, with bulls and bears temporarily balanced. The MACD has formed a bullish crossover at the bottom, and bullish momentum is slowly recovering, but selling pressure above remains. The market is currently in a bottom-building consolidation phase after the decline and has not yet established a clear trend.
Resistance is around 2420, with support around 2360.
Entry: Go long after a pullback to the 2360-2380 range stabilizes.
Stop-loss: If 2330
