# Bitcoin slips to $78K as resistance caps CLARITY Act rally

Resistance halts rally: Bitcoin’s surge on CLARITY Act optimism stalled at $82K, a level reinforced by major moving averages and heavy profit-taking. ETF flows mixed: Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $131M in inflows Thursday but remain volatile, with recent large outflows dampening bullish momentum. Key levels ahead: Traders watch $77,608 support and $82,663 resistance; a breakout above could target $85,774, while a breakdown risks $73,719.
