Why was Bitcoin up on Sep 3, 2026, 1:16 PM UTC?

Bitcoin's modest gains today (2.35% in 24h, 0.8% in 1h) appear driven primarily by technical momentum rather than the news cycle—most headlines relate to regulatory/partnership developments that don't directly explain price movement. The upcoming CPI report next week may be supporting a cautious bid, as markets price in macro uncertainty, but the 15-minute volatility suggests this is largely range-bound trading without a clear directional catalyst.
