Jane Street & the “10 a.m. $BTC dump” — simplified 🧠

⏰ The claim: BTC often drops around 9:30–10:00 a.m. ET → blame placed on Jane Street 🏦

🕵️ Reality check: No proof from regulators, exchanges, or data ❌

📊 Price action: BTC was sideways at the open, drop came later mid-day, not at 10 a.m.

📉 Futures data:

Open interest = stable ➖

CME OI slightly down = risk reduction, not aggressive shorting

💥 What actually happened:

⚡ $430M+ liquidations (mostly longs)

$BTC liquidations ≈ $68M

$ETH even higher

🔄 ETF flows: $77M outflow after prior inflows = added pressure

🌍 Across all venues: Binance, CME, OKX, Bybit → no single seller footprint
