#JaneStreet10AMDump — Coincidence or Coordinated? 👀 For months, traders kept noticing the same thing… Right at 10:00 AM ET — when U.S. markets open — Bitcoin would suddenly get hit with sharp sell pressure. Almost mechanical. Almost programmed. Many started calling it the #JaneStreet10AMDump. The Theory The idea was simple: BTC gets dumped at 10 AM → retail longs get liquidated → price resets lower → smart money repositions. It felt too consistent to ignore. Why Jane Street? Speculators pointed at Jane Street because of its role as a Bitcoin ETF Authorized Participant, meaning they have direct involvement in ETF creation/redemption flows. Some believed that gave them an edge in timing liquidity events. No proof — just a pattern traders couldn’t unsee. Then Came the Lawsuit On Feb 24, 2026, Terraform Labs filed a lawsuit accusing Jane Street of using insider information to front-run the $40B Terra-Luna collapse back in 2022. And here’s where it gets interesting… The very next day — Feb 25 — the usual 10 AM sell pressure didn’t show up. Instead, Bitcoin ripped over 3%, wiping out roughly $323M in short positions. Coincidence? Maybe. Timing? Definitely notable. Bigger Picture Critics also reference a July 2025 case where India’s SEBI fined Jane Street $580M over alleged manipulation tied to Bank Nifty derivatives activity. Again — different market, different structure — but it adds fuel to the narrative. Jane Street’s Response The firm has denied all 10 AM manipulation accusations, calling them “unfounded opportunistic claims,” and says it will aggressively defend against the Terraform lawsuit. At the end of the day, markets move on liquidity — not conspiracy theories. But one thing is clear: When patterns disappear overnight, traders pay attention. Eyes on structure. Eyes on liquidity. Not emotions. $BTC #BTC #Crypto #JaneStreet10AMDump
