Bitcoin faces downward pressure due to rising expectations of US interest rate hikes and stalled passage of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, with a congressional vote pending on September 15 that may end regulatory progress. Market analysts foresee potential for Bitcoin to fall to around $50,000 in autumn amid these macroeconomic and policy headwinds, alongside competition for venture capital from AI IPOs.
