Bitcoin Price at Crossroads: Fed Decision and CLARITY Act Vote Loom

The price of Bitcoin is facing a critical week as two major events unfold. On September 15, 2026, the Federal Reserve will announce its policy decision, with markets pricing in an 85-90% chance of a 25-basis-point rate hike.

Investors are eagerly awaiting Chair Kevin Warsh's post-meeting comments for clues on future policy. A more hawkish stance could further pressure Bitcoin's price.

The Senate is also set to hold a cloture vote on the CLARITY Act, which aims to establish a framework for U.S. crypto market structure. The bill has undergone revisions, but still includes disputed sections regarding digital-asset ethics and stablecoin yields.
