Republicans expressed sharp dissatisfaction on Wednesday after the House of Representatives approved a $900 billion defense bill without the promised ban on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).

For crypto, the framework is similar to traditional financial markets but comes with its own twist. Here, price action turns on liquidity, adoption, regulation, and flows from institutions alongside retail sentiment. Network health—hash rate, staking, active wallets—adds another layer. Macro still matters too: rates, dollar strength, and risk appetite shape inflows and outflows. Then, as with any market, you use the chart—trend, support and resistance, momentum, and volume—to spot setups and manage risk.
