Market analysts recently stated that the rally in the first five trading days of the year has sent many positive signals. Looking at the S&P 500 index, there seems to be more room to push towards 7700 points.

However, recent volatility has been quite noticeable, especially in the financial sector and the overall market, which is closely related to policy changes. Washington is considering measures to limit credit card interest rates, and once implemented, it could put pressure on financial institutions—after all, this directly affects their ability to extend credit to consumers.

In contrast, the crypto industry has received some good news. The advancement of the Clarity bill is a real positive for this sector. Last October, the crypto market experienced a significant shock, but over time, after moving away from that low point, the chances of recovery are quite high.

From Bitcoin's perspective, there is a good chance of reaching new highs this year. As for Ethereum, the attitude might be more optimistic, with expectations that its performance could surpass Bitcoin's. That’s also why many people remain hopeful about this wave of market activity.

Medical records show that this rebound is mainly driven by policy expectations, and the symptoms in the financial sector still need to be closely monitored. Regarding the progress of the Clarity Act, clinical performance has been positive, but don’t rush to conclusions; the hidden risks in the protocol code have not been fully identified yet. What is the probability of Bitcoin reaching a new high? The data support is still insufficient, and claims like Ethereum surpassing expectations need to be reviewed regularly. What is the backing behind the S&P reaching 7700? That’s the key point; liquidity indicators need to be observed for another two weeks. Is the crypto recovery highly likely? I haven’t forgotten the capital outflow in October last year. What are the specific differences this time? Let’s discuss. Once interest rate policies are implemented, the yield pressure on financial institutions will cascade. Have you all paid enough attention to the risk warnings in this area? I’m worried it might be another round of overvalued valuations. I recommend everyone bullish to review their own health assessment reports. This opportunity is real, but you must recognize your own risk tolerance and not get carried away by the market hype.

Oh wow, the Clarity Act really packs a punch this time, finally establishing a somewhat serious regulatory framework. Ethereum surpassing Bitcoin? Dream on. Bitcoin has been very stable this year. It's really tough when the financial sector is suppressed, but our crypto remains unaffected. That’s the winning mindset. 7700 is not a dream; it all depends on whether those folks in Washington stop messing around. We’ve climbed out of that pit in October, and the recovery momentum is still quite strong.

Damn, finally got good news about the Clarity Act. I almost forgot the dip last year. It's Washington causing trouble again. The financial sector got hit hard, but our crypto still rose... The double standard is unbelievable. ETH surpassing BTC? I bet five SOLs you're wrong, haha. S&P 7700? Let's see if the financial sector can survive this policy storm first. Recovery? Nice words, but we still need on-chain data to tell the real story.

Alright, alright, the Clarity Act can really save the market this time. Bitcoin hitting a new high is no problem. Ethereum surpassing Bitcoin? I'm a bit期待 this time. Financial stocks are indeed struggling, but there's a turnaround coming on our crypto side. Watching the S&P push towards 7700, I feel there's still a chance. Once policies loosen up, crypto will come back to life. This deal is worth following.

Wait, can S&P directly surge to 7700? Is the liquidity depth sufficient? I need to check the trading pair data at this price level... I’ve noticed the volatility in the financial stocks, but more importantly, the arbitrage opportunities in crypto. Once the Clarity Act is officially implemented, DEX liquidity could experience a significant gap. I believe in a new high for BTC, but ETH surpassing BTC? That depends on the slippage in the trading pairs. The bots have already been monitoring the price differences. I’ll analyze the specific data in detail later. How much did the decline last October actually amount to? I need precise numbers to assess the recovery potential.
