Bitcoin bias flipped 39 times to neutral on September 15, 2026
Bitcoin has traded around the $78K to $79K level as headlines around the CLARITY Act shifted, with talks heating up at one point and a Senate block later coinciding with a drop in Bitcoin and BTC-related stocks. Bitcoin ETFs snapped a four-day slide with $160 million in inflows, while options traders changed positioning for the first time in 12 months. Broader context includes expectations from Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan for a Fed rate hike this week with hike odds above 92%, comments from Trump on a possible end to the Iran war as oil fell, and moves in chip stocks such as Nvidia and Intel on AI slowdown concerns.
