Bitcoin slips toward 79K as Treasury yields and oil surge spark broad risk off selling

Bitcoin slips toward 79K as Treasury yields and oil surge spark broad risk off selling

Bitcoin drifted toward $79,000 as rising US Treasury yields, renewed inflation worries, and high oil prices triggered a risk-off mood across global markets. The pullback followed a failed attempt to regain the $82,000–$82,500 resistance band, with trading around $78,799. In 24 hours, Bitcoin fell about 2% and Ethereum slipped 1%. Overall crypto market value fell roughly 2% to $2.63 trillion, while analysts flagged ETF flows, macro liquidity, and on-chain behavior as key for the next move.

Bitcoin jumps above 82000 as US Clarity Act clears Senate Banking with bipartisan push

Bitcoin briefly surged above $82,000 after the US Clarity Act advanced out of the Senate Banking Committee on a 15-9 bipartisan vote. The bill—already approved by the House—seeks to reduce regulatory uncertainty by assigning oversight for digital commodities to the CFTC and digital securities to the SEC, a change that could draw more institutional players. Still, it faces major hurdles: a 60-vote Senate requirement, reconciliation with other versions, and unresolved ethics provisions tied to lawmakers trading crypto.
