Crypto Bill Talks Hit Last-Minute Roadblock Ardoino’s post, shared on May 13, landed just as negotiations surrounding the CLARITY Act entered another tense phase ahead of the Senate Banking…

The $BTC price prolonged its consolidation within the formation of bear flag pattern as middle east conflict continued to hamper market sentiment. On-chain indicators for Bitcoin reflect a defensive market posture rather than directional conviction. The $76,500 and $84,400 stands as immediate resistance against Bitcoin buyers. The original cryptocurrency Bitcoin shows an insignificant loss of 0.51% on Tuesday to barely sustain above the $70,000 mark. The daily chart highlights a neutral candle formation in the daily chart accentuating the market uncertainty amid geopolitical tension.

Ethereum needs three catalysts to fall into place for its price to regain momentum and surge higher, according to SharpLink Gaming CEO Joseph Chalom. “One is the CLARITY Act to pass in the US,” Chalom pointed out in an interview with Robert Baggs on Cointelegraph’s Chain Reaction show published to YouTube on Thursday. It came on the same day that all 13 Republican members and two Democrats voted to advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY) at the US Senate Banking Committee meeting on Thursday. Chalom said that while many view the legislation, which aims to give the US…

Nvidia’s (NASDAQ: NVDA) position in the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI), which tracks roughly 85% of investable global stock markets across large- and mid-cap companies, has climbed all the way back to 4.96%.

Tether’s role in a Tether Brazil tax dispute just got much more visible. The stablecoin issuer froze more than $213 million linked to Gurhan Kiziloz, along with 48 $USDT accounts associated with his company, after a Brazilian court ruling tied to gambling operations and crypto token sales. That combination — a court order, a major stablecoin issuer, and nine-figure frozen funds — is why the case is drawing attention far beyond Brazil. At its center is a civil fight over taxes, not a criminal prosecution. However, the size of the freeze shows how digital asset enforcement is increasingly colliding with…

Since March, Ethereum [$ETH] bulls have struggled to breach the $2,400-resistance level. While Bitcoin [BTC] was able to climb above key psychological resistances at $70K and $80K, $ETH was unable to muster similar momentum and climb to $2,700-$2,900 levels. Source: Glassnode A look at the higher timeframe moving averages showcases the bearish $ETH trend, as the price was below the 200DMA and 200WMA. The latter, in particular, is a notable demarcator of long-term trends and has acted as both support and resistance numerous times. Though the 111DMA at $2,186 is expected to serve as support, the trend has been bearish…
