Bitcoin holds above $80K after hot U.S. CPI data, eyes $85K amid bullish signals and regulatory focus.

Bitcoin price remained above the key $80,000 support level despite brief volatility triggered by hotter-than-expected U.S. CPI data. Traders believe the inflation data was largely priced in, limiting downside risk, while on-chain signals indicate early bull market momentum for the first time since March 2023. Market focus is shifting to the upcoming U.S. CLARITY Act, seen as a major catalyst for institutional adoption and regulatory clarity. Bitcoin faces resistance near $82,300 and $85,000, with strong support at $80,000; a decisive break above resistance could lead to further gains, while a drop below support might expose deeper declines.
