Experts Assess the Impact of the Clarity Act on Bitcoin Dynamics

Clarity Act's adoption unlikely to impact Bitcoin prices, says analyst Peter Brandt.

The anticipated adoption of the Clarity Act, a US law regulating the crypto market, is unlikely to significantly impact Bitcoin prices, according to veteran trader and technical analyst Peter Brandt, who spoke to Cointelegraph.

David Sacks, a special advisor to President Donald Trump on AI and cryptocurrencies, suggested there is a strong chance the bill will pass through Congress in January.

We had a great call today with Chairmen @SenatorTimScott and @JohnBoozman who confirmed that a markup for Clarity is coming in January. Thanks to their leadership, as well as @RepFrenchHill and @CongressmanGT in the House, we are closer than ever to passing the landmark crypto…

This will not be a “global event” nor will it act as a catalyst for the growth of digital gold, commented Brandt.

“However, the Clarity Act will be a positive factor as it will significantly clarify the regulatory structure for crypto assets,” the expert added.

Sharing Brandt’s view, Ledn’s Chief Investment Officer John Glover noted that the law’s adoption is already priced in by the market and will not have an immediate impact.

“This is another step towards the broad recognition of Bitcoin and Ethereum as investment assets, so I still expect the price trajectory to be upward over time,” he said.

Brandt confirmed his conclusions about a bearish phase for the leading cryptocurrency, acknowledging that the Clarity Act might lead to a more moderate price decline.

“Charts indicate that Bitcoin could fall to the $60,000 level, likely in the third quarter of 2026,” he added.

His forecast roughly aligns with the assessment of CryptoQuant analysts. They believe that in the next three to six months, the price of digital gold could drop to $70,000. The pressure on the rate is due to a decrease in buying demand. If the asset does not resume growth, a decline to $56,000 could follow in the second half of 2026.

Bitcoin’s demand boom is fading.

This cycle ran on three spot demand waves, and the latest one looks like it’s rolling over.

According to an internal memo published by media expert Kuai Dong for Fundstrat clients, the analytics company expects a Bitcoin correction to $60,000-65,000 in the first half of the year. The firm’s specialists called the range a “good entry point” before the asset’s subsequent recovery.

Earlier, Bloomberg Intelligence’s senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone warned that the price of the leading cryptocurrency could plummet to $10,000 in 2026.
