As market participants await the Senate Banking Committee\u2019s vote on the Clarity Act on Thursday, there are early indications that this could be a near-term catalyst for Bitcoin\u2019s future price action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Institutional demand appears to be showing some caution this week. Spot BTC Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) recorded a notable outflow of $233.25 million on Tuesday, after a modest inflow of $27.29 million the previous day, according to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CoinGlass data<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If these outflows persist or intensify in the coming days, Bitcoin may experience a price correction. However, the focus remains on the Senate Banking Committee\u2019s upcoming vote on the Clarity Act, which is anticipated to have a significant impact on the crypto market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bitcoin\u2019s recent price action has lost momentum as it faces resistance around the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), hovering near $82,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ongoing consolidation suggests that Bitcoin is taking a breather after a strong rally since early April. However, the outlook remains bullish, with the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization potentially poised to resume its upward trend. Analysts are optimistic that the Clarity Act, which is expected to be voted on Thursday, could trigger a breakout for Bitcoin.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin price forecast: BTC consolidating above key EMAs<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite some caution in institutional demand, Bitcoin is showing a bullish near-term bias, with support holding above the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These EMAs are clustered just below $76,800 and are part of a parallel channel, suggesting ongoing consolidation in the price action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart is near 61, indicating positive momentum without being overextended.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, a slightly negative Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) reading points to moderating upside pressure, rather than a reversal, as Bitcoin remains below the 200-day EMA near $82,100.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the rally persists, Bitcoin will face initial resistance at the 200-day EMA around $82,100, followed by the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level near $83,440 and a horizontal barrier at $84,410.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-source=\"CoinJournal\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-364706\" src=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTCUSD_2026-05-13_12-47-17.png\" alt=\"BTC\/USD 4H Chart\" width=\"1793\" height=\"836\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A sustained break above this resistance zone could open the door for a run toward the January peak of around $97,925.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if the bears regain control, support is seen at the psychological $80,000 level, with further support zones near the 50% retracement at $78,960 and the 100-day and 50-day EMAs around $76,730 and $76,420, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Analysis,Bitcoin Price#Bitcoin #rebounds #slightly #81k #institutional #caution1778689382<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key takeaways Bitcoin recovers slightly on Wednesday after finding support below $80,000.
