# Experts assess the impact of the Clarity Act on Bitcoin dynamics

The expected passage of the Clarity Act, a cryptocurrency market regulation law in the US, is unlikely to have a significant impact on Bitcoin prices. Veteran trader and technical analyst Peter Brandt stated this to Cointelegraph.

Special advisor to President Donald Trump on AI and cryptocurrencies, David Sacks, predicted high chances of the bill passing 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 “world-scale event” nor will it serve as a catalyst for the growth of digital gold, Brandt commented.

“But still, the Clarity Act will be a positive factor as it will significantly clarify the structure of crypto asset regulation,” added the expert.

Sharing Brandt’s opinion, Ledn investment director John Glover noted that the law’s adoption is already priced into the market and will not have an immediate impact.

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

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

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

His forecast roughly coincided with CryptoQuant analysts’ assessment. They believe that in the next three to six months, digital gold prices could decline to $70 000. The pressure on the rate is caused by a reduction in buyer demand. If the asset does not recover, a fall to $56 000 is expected 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 for clients published by media expert Kuai Dong at Fundstrat, the analytics firm expects a Bitcoin correction to $60 000-65,000 in the first half of the year. The company’s specialists called this range a “good entry point” before the subsequent recovery of the asset.

Recall that Bloomberg Intelligence senior commodities strategist Mike McGlone warned that the price of the first cryptocurrency could plummet to $10 000 in 2026.
