Why was Bitcoin up on Jul 18, 2026, 6:34 PM UTC?

Bitcoin is up ~1% over 24 hours with modest intraday moves (0.12-0.4%), suggesting relatively calm, gradual accumulation rather than reaction to specific catalysts. The news items (banking alternatives, governance, tokenization adoption, options positioning) are positive in tone but don't explain this particular price action—this appears to be baseline technical momentum or positioning ahead of the Fed meeting mentioned, not a newsdriven move.
