The most expensive mistake in a bull market is celebrating regulatory headlines before they actually become law.

With the Fear and Greed Index sitting at 77, it is easy to let euphoria blind your risk management. You watch the green candles on tokens like $ONDO and institutional plays like $ICP, convince yourself that total regulatory clarity is just around the corner, and end up buying the exact top of policy speculation.

I have seen this exact movie play out across three different market cycles. The House pushing the Senate creates massive narrative momentum, but Capitol Hill timelines rarely match the velocity of crypto markets. When bill momentum stalls in committees, liquidity dries up instantly, leaving retail holding spot bags while institutional money rotates back to $USDT and sits on the sidelines.

Real regulatory infrastructure is built through agonizingly slow compromises, not overnight breakthroughs. Treat legislative catalysts as long-term positioning signals rather than immediate breakout triggers, because the market always punishes impatience when reality catches up to legislative delays.

How are you adjusting your portfolio risk while the Senate deliberates on this bill?
