Bitcoin has surged more than 20% since April, reaching technical targets near $83,000, signaling a potential cooling period ahead. Regulatory progress includes the upcoming CLARITY Act markup in the Senate Banking Committee, with hopes for House passage by July 4.

Market watchers await further regulatory clarity and ETF demand to sustain momentum.
