Crypto Sits Out the AI Selloff: Bitcoin ETF Money Rotates to ETH Ahead of the CLARITY Act Senate Vote and FOMC

Nasdaq-100 futures fell 1.65% yesterday. The Kospi lost 3.26%. Gold dropped 0.8%, silver 1.7%, and AI semiconductors were taken to the woodshed. Crypto closed higher, with 94 of the CoinDesk 100 green. That divergence is the whole trade this week. Bitcoin is sitting at $77,950 with a $78,280 high already printed on Sept 14. The CLARITY Act Senate vote fires at 2:15 p.m. ET today. The FOMC decision lands tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. ET. Both are still ahead of you. ...

One Day to the 60-Vote Cliff: Bitcoin's $77,000 Window Closes Tomorrow

Bitcoin is one day from the vote that decides whether the United States writes a crypto rulebook this decade. The Senate votes tomorrow at 2:15 p.m. ET.

Bitcoin is sitting near $77,000 on a Sunday tape with almost nobody left to sell to — and the two events that decide the next leg are already on the calendar. Two days to the Senate cloture vote on the CLARITY Act. Three days to the FOMC. Institutions are still buying. Long-term holders are still selling. That gap is the whole trade. This is the last stretch where the market is still handing out the discount, because after Tuesday and Wednesday, probability turns into price. ...

Core CPI Ran Hot, Hike Odds Hit 88% — and Bitcoin Just Shrugged: $77K Held, Ether Broke $2,600, and the 60-Vote Cliff Is 3 Days Out

Bitcoin was supposed to break. Core CPI ran hot, the 30-year Treasury yield punched to 5.309% — its highest since June 2004 — and CME FedWatch now prices an 88% chance of a Fed hike in four days. Instead, $77K held, Ether tore through $2,600, and the only people who got hurt were the shorts. That is not a market absorbing bad news. That is a market that already ate it. ...
