Why was Bitcoin up on Aug 2, 2026, 10:25 AM UTC?
$63,161
▲ +0.24% (24h) · -0.08% (1h)
Bitcoin's minimal price movement (-0.03% in 15min, +0.24% in 24h) appears disconnected from the news flow. While negative headlines exist (cold wallet attacks, mining difficulty drops, Trump Media liquidations), none are acute enough to drive intraday volatility—this looks like normal consolidation or low-volume trading conditions rather than news-driven price action.
