Why was Bitcoin up on Jul 18, 2026, 3:25 PM UTC?

Bitcoin is essentially flat over the short term (-0.02% to -0.03%), with a modest 1.59% gain over 24h. The news mix is neutral to slightly positive (call spreads betting on $72k, financial firms adopting tokenization), but none of it directly explains today's minimal price action—this appears to be normal intraday consolidation with no major catalyst driving movement right now.
