What a great opportunity for a margin trade with high leverage it was. However, to make the most of it one needed to get on the rising price wave very quickly. Of course, major altcoins followed.
The major hypothesis for the cause of the rise was a series of closing some large profitable short BTCUSD positions on July 18, around 15:00 UTC after. The transactions on OKCoin exchange were reported by @WhaleCalls twitter bot account.
The sudden rally could be associated with the massive unwinding of short BTC/USD positions (profit taking) seen in 30 minutes to 15:00 UTC, as reported by bot powered twitter handle @WhaleCalls.
