3 ‘checkpoints’ stand between a crypto all-time high in 2026: Bitwise

💡 DMK Insight

Matt Hougan’s take on crypto’s path to new highs is spot on—liquidation stability and regulatory clarity are key. With the recent October liquidations behind us, traders should focus on how the CLARITY Act could reshape the regulatory landscape. If passed, it might provide the much-needed framework that institutional investors are waiting for. This could lead to increased capital inflows, especially if equities maintain their current stability. Keep an eye on the correlation between crypto and equity markets; a strong performance in stocks often boosts crypto sentiment. However, there’s a flip side. If the CLARITY Act faces delays or pushback, we could see renewed volatility in crypto prices. Traders should monitor key levels around recent support zones to gauge market sentiment. Watch for any announcements regarding the Act and how they coincide with equity market movements, as these could be pivotal for positioning in the coming weeks.
