Crypto Market Outlook: What We Expect in the Coming Week
The crypto market enters a pivotal week. Technically, Bitcoin has triggered a 200-day Golden Cross, pointing toward strength into Q4. Fundamentally, the upcoming Senate vote on the CLARITY Act could unlock long-awaited regulatory clarity for institutional capital.
At the same time, on-chain metrics show short-term holders actively locking in profits, signaling local overheating and the potential for a brief pause before trend continuation.
In this report, we evaluate the overall picture and break down key price levels for major assets: BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE, XRP, and ZEC.

01
Bitcoin Prints a Golden Cross
Bitcoin has confirmed its first Golden Cross of the new 200-day trend, with the long-term trend indicator flipping into the green zone as price clears key moving average resistance. Similar technical transitions in 2019 and 2023 preceded major historic advances.
While sharp volatility remains possible in the near term, the broader market structure points toward higher levels into Q4, provided key support zones hold.

02
Short-Term Bitcoin Holders Lock In Profits Following the Rally
Short-term holder profitability has spiked sharply, breaking above the upper STH-MVRV Bollinger Band. This signal highlights local market overheating and heightened profit-taking among recent buyers.
A similar breakout occurred in January 2023, where elevated unrealized gains prompted a wave of selling and a temporary pause before the broader recovery resumed.
U.S. Senate Prepares for Pivotal CLARITY Act Crypto Vote
Senate Republicans released an updated CLARITY Act draft, calling it their final offer ahead of a September 15 procedural vote. Senate Democrats held an emergency meeting to evaluate the proposal.
The bill establishes long-awaited market structure: it clearly divides oversight between the SEC and CFTC, classifies digital assets as commodities, and defines regulatory standards for decentralized protocols.
Fundamentally, clearing legal ambiguity removes the primary barrier for institutional capital, creating a catalyst for sustained market expansion if the bill advances.
