XRP Hits Session Highs as CLARITY Act Advances to Full Senate

Bitcoin may be holding strong above major psychological levels, but the market 
still lacks the scale of capital inflows needed to trigger a true full-scale 
bull run. While short-term moves can be driven by leverage and speculative 
positioning, a true bull run historically requires deep, consistent liquidity 
from institutions, funds, and new retail participants entering the market. The 
Liquidity Gap Preventing Bitcoin From Full Expansion Bitcoin still requires 
significantly stronger capital inflows to confirm the start of a true bull 
market, as current on-chain signals suggest momentum remains insufficient. The 
founder and CEO of Alphractal, Joao Wedson, highlighted on X that a key metric 
to watch is the realized market capitalization impulse, which is currently 
hovering just below the neutral 0 level, a zone now acting as temporary 
resistance. Related Reading: Previous Bitcoin’s Market Top Was Hidden Behind 
Sophisticated Whale Distribution — Analyst Explained If the metric fails to 
reclaim and hold above 0, it would signal fading market inflows, increasing 
the probability that BTC could revisit lower price levels in the coming 
months. However, a decisive move back above 0 would suggest that fresh money 
is re-entering the network, potentially marking the beginning of a shorter, 
more compressed bear cycle moving toward upside momentum. For now, with the 
indicator still below this critical threshold, Joao cautions that it remains 
too early to declare the start of a new bull run. Despite market optimism, the 
data suggest that the necessary foundation of strong capital inflows has not 
fully materialized to sustain an upside move. Is Bitcoin Entering The Early 
Stages Of A Trend Reversal? Bitcoin is starting to show early signs of 
structural weakness after struggling to maintain strong bullish momentum at a 
major resistance zone. A crypto trader known as CGT Trader has noted that 
during the recent rally, BTC rarely formed consecutive lower highs, and when 
it did form lower highs, it was unusually limited to a single occurrence 
before the next continuation to the upside. Related Reading: Bitcoin Rally At 
Risk: This Critical Resistance Could End BTC’s Bullish Run Currently, the 
price action is starting to deviate from that pattern. BTC is still trading 
sideways within a major resistance zone, and the price has already formed 
three consecutive lower highs without making a lower low. CGT Trader explained 
that the market structure is not fully bearish because BTC has still not 
confirmed lower lows. However, the repeated inability to reclaim higher levels 
suggests the uptrend may be losing strength as buyers struggle to sustain 
momentum. The critical level to watch is whether BTC begins printing lower 
lows alongside these lower highs. Meanwhile, if that formation occurs, it 
would signal a clear shift in market structure, potentially marking the end of 
the bull trap and the beginning of a broader high-time frame downtrend.
