Ethereum Struggles as Traders Await CLARITY Act Catalyst

Ethereum continues to underperform against Bitcoin as traders remain cautious amid regulatory uncertainty surrounding the proposed CLARITY Act. Market sentiment suggests ETH could face additional downside before a potential reversal tied to the bill’s approval, reflecting a possible “sell the rumor, buy the news” setup. Analysts note that Bitcoin previously bottomed during major geopolitical uncertainty, and some traders now expect a similar capitulation phase for Ethereum before stronger accumulation returns.
