Why was Bitcoin up on Jul 21, 2026, 3:19 PM UTC?

Bitcoin is up 2.69% over 24h but down slightly in the last 15 minutes and hour, suggesting consolidation after a recent rally. The positive momentum appears supported by institutional inflows (options traders, whales, funds), regulatory clarity progress (Clarity Act), and new infrastructure (CoinShares' mining ETF), though the minor short-term dip likely reflects normal profit-taking rather than fundamental weakness.
