BIP 91 will be activated soon... maybe that is the reason why bitcoin is going up now.
This would be the result if segwit and bip148 joined together and really thanks to bitmain. They do have big contribution on this decisions which we can really assume already that split would have slim chances to happen on this upcoming August 1 which it really gives me the confidence to buy now.

What is happening with BTC? What drives it so crazy today?

To avoid the chain split. I think if that was a good step to prevent the chain split for bitcoin. that already driven the price of bitcoin to the moon just in a short time.
For me the only logical explanation is that BIP91 blocks raised to 84.7%. Which is GREAT news in general. And alt coins always follow ups and downs of the BTC.

Definitely that.
That suggests no hard fork is imminent for now (we get to do it all again in November though with blocksize doubling. Yay!). So the money has come flooding back in. It's been happening since Monday when the mining community fist starting signalling support for it.
But my alts collection hasn't done the same.
In terms of simple 24 hour % change ..... BTC is 12% up.
Against BTC ....
The only alts I hold that are up are MGO and ARK.
XRP, PAY, WAVES, GRC, XVG, WINGS & DGB are all down. Against BTC.
But against the $ ....
Everything is green. Because of the BTC increase.
Interestingly, against BTC, in terms of 24 hour % change, ETH (I watch it now, I don't hold any at the moment, and won't until all the ICO stupidity stops) is one of the worst at 6.7% down in BTC value. (But up in $ terms of course)
Which is why I'm 50% pure BTC, and 50% alts. Roughly.
Normally my collection of alts rise in equal proportion to Bitcoin, but I see only ETH doing that right now... my LTC and XMR are slowly going up also, but they didn't reach the same levels they were at the last time BTC was above 2,500. So yeah, probably very strong reaction to all those blocks signalling.
Eth is still unstable and no sign of pump for me, Same as my other altcoin which is normally pump right after bitcoin. Maybe it will follow later because the pump of btc is instant. I can't believe right now that the drama on btc was over

Who knows? Presume people or whales are already accumulating bitcoins as of now which do affect the price which we would able to see now it reaches again 2600 which is really good and we can able to think that we might see 3k if this rally would continue to rise. Indeed, alts now are doing the same thing they do go with the flow as btc rises they do rise too but not all there are some coins which are on reds now.
