Why was Bitcoin up on Aug 9, 2026, 12:01 AM UTC?

Bitcoin is essentially flat across all timeframes (-0.03% to +0.05%), suggesting no clear directional pressure right now. The news mix is moderately bullish (institutional inflows, regulatory clarity progress, hardware wallet adoption) but these longer-term narratives don't typically drive intraday micro-movements—this appears to be normal consolidation or low-volume price action rather than news-driven.
