Bitcoin Price Plummets $2.2B in 20 Minutes After Senate Vote

Bitcoin's price plummeted by $2,200 to $74,900 in just 20 minutes after the Crypto Clarity Act failed its Senate vote. This sudden crash triggered long liquidations worth $275 million and erased a staggering $70 billion from the crypto market.

Ethereum also suffered, dropping below $2,400. At press time, Bitcoin's price had recovered slightly to $76,166.43, but it remains within the Bollinger band with an upper resistance at $78,715.9 and lower support at $76,010.01.

The bearish EMA50 at $77,732.81 is capping any potential upside, while the EMA200 at $74,472.75 offers a distant floor. The MACD death cross at -225.33 and RSI at 36.38 confirm that sellers retain control of the market after the vote shock.

Bitcoin's price volatility highlights the sensitivity of the crypto market to external events, making it crucial for investors to stay informed and adaptable.
