The CLARITY Act enters a critical review period: How will Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin prices be affected?

BTC0,29%
ETH-0,63%
DOGE1,48%

Amidst the still-unclear Federal Reserve policy path and rising US regulatory expectations, cryptocurrency market sentiment is becoming more cautious. Over the past 24 hours, the overall crypto market capitalization has slightly declined by approximately 0.84%. The short-term trends of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin are gradually responding to the regulatory signals released by the upcoming review of the “CLARITY Act.”

From a price perspective, Bitcoin experienced a technical rebound after falling to around $89,200. It is currently hovering around $91,300 but remains clearly constrained by the medium-term resistance zone at $95,000. The previous year-end rally failed to break through key resistance levels effectively, indicating ongoing profit-taking pressure at high levels. If bullish momentum re-accumulates, Bitcoin may test the $92,000 area; if it falls below $88,000, deeper correction risks should be watched.

Ethereum’s price remains oscillating in the $3,100 to $3,200 range. Although short-term pressure exists, the weekly gain still exceeds 6%. Under the current consolidation structure, around $3,131 has become a focal point for bulls and bears. If market risk appetite improves, Ethereum could challenge the $3,500 level again; conversely, if it drops below $3,000, the support level near $2,900 will be tested.

Dogecoin surged approximately 23% in the previous week but encountered resistance at the key $0.16 level and pulled back. It is currently oscillating around $0.14. This area has formed some short-term buying support; if lost, the price may retest $0.13. If sentiment improves, there is still room for a rebound back to $0.16.

From a fundamental perspective, the core goal of the “CLARITY Act” is to regulate crypto asset trading behaviors, explicitly prohibit false transactions, deceptive trading, and fake trading volumes, and require platforms to disclose reserves, undergo regular audits, and open real-time risk monitoring to regulators. The bill is seen as an important step toward alleviating market opacity and reducing institutional compliance risks.

The US Senate Banking Committee and Agriculture Committee will begin formal review of the bill on January 15. This key milestone could continue to amplify market volatility in the short term. If the bill progresses smoothly, it may help improve the structure of the US crypto market in the long run, provide a more stable price discovery environment for Bitcoin, and attract broader incremental funding for Ethereum and Dogecoin.
