Why are crypto stocks jumping today despite the regulatory news?

Hey everyone, I’m still pretty new to the markets and trying to wrap my head around how news actually moves prices.

I was looking at the charts today and noticed that stocks like Coinbase and MicroStrategy are bouncing back after that selloff caused by the CLARITY Act headlines. I honestly thought that any news about the SEC or CFTC taking action would be bad for crypto companies, so I’m a little confused as to why they’re rallying right now.

Is the market just ignoring the regulations, or am I missing something about how these agencies use their "existing authority"? Does this usually mean the uncertainty is over, or is this just a "dead cat bounce"?

Would love to hear how you veterans interpret these kinds of headlines. Should I be looking at this as a buying opportunity, or is it safer to stay on the sidelines until things settle down? Any advice for a beginner trying to understand this correlation would be super appreciated!

Textbook dead cat bounce. People get hyped over tiny relief headlines while completely ignoring the actual macro picture. Inflation is still sticky, yields aren't dropping anytime soon, and the Fed is nowhere near the aggressive cuts the market is pricing in. When real liquidity dries up, these speculative names are the first to get hammered. Be careful chasing this.
