Bitcoin Prepares for Volatile Week Ahead of CLARITY Vote and Fed Decision

The Bitcoin market is entering a crucial period ahead of two major events: the U.S. Senate's vote on the CLARITY Act and the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision.

Positioning data shows that traders have already adjusted their exposure, with open positions dropping by 13.5% between September 3 and 11, while the price declined by only 5% over the same period.

This reset in positioning could change the dynamics of upcoming sessions, as traders have liquidated leveraged positions, reducing their risk and limiting potential movements.

The Senate is set to vote on Tuesday, September 15, while the FOMC will announce its interest rate decision on Wednesday. Bitcoin's price has historically dropped at every FOMC announcement since 2025.
