Why was Bitcoin up on Jul 22, 2026, 1:34 AM UTC?

Bitcoin is up 1.51% over 24h but down slightly in the short term (-0.36% in 1h), suggesting consolidation rather than a strong directional move. The news mix—regulatory uncertainty (Crypto Clarity Act delays), tax challenges, and quantum computing developments—doesn't clearly explain either the gains or the recent dips; analysts reference a key $68,000 resistance level and a "summer slumber" period, indicating the price action is more technical than news-driven at this moment.
