Crypto Industry News:
The head of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Gary Gensler will address the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee for the first time.
In an interview, Representative Patrick McHenry, chairman of the Financial Services Committee, confirmed that the head of the SEC will be questioned on April 18 about his approach to the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
The House of Representatives Financial Services Committee has jurisdiction over all aspects of the U.S. financial services industry, including banking, securities, and digital assets.
McHenry noted that this will be the first SEC surveillance hearing. The hearing will focus on regulation making and Gensler's approach to crypto assets. He also added that the committee will conduct thorough oversight of the SEC and will be serious about "setting the regulatory realm for digital assets."
The SEC chief's approach to cryptocurrencies has caught the attention of many people over the years, with many members of the Democratic Party voicing their concerns about his approach. Some in the crypto industry believe the party's anti-crypto stance could be disastrous for its 2024 election campaign.

The BTC/USD broke out from a Triangle Pattern structure on the H4 time-frame chart and with the strong and positive momentum, the short-term outlook for BTC remains bullish.

The line in the sand for bulls is seen at the technical support located at $23,926.
