Why does Bitcoin keep dumping at 10 a.m. when U.S. markets open?
Once again, BTC wiped out nearly 16 hours of gains within 20 minutes of the U.S. market opening. And this isn’t new — since early November, most of the sharp intraday sell-offs have lined up exactly with the U.S. open. We saw the same pattern in Q2 and Q3.
@zerohedge has been pointing to this for months, and his view is that Jane Street is the most likely player behind it.
When you study the chart, the pattern is almost too clean:
• A fast, aggressive sell-off right at the opening bell • Price gets driven straight into liquidity pockets • Slow grind back up afterward
That’s textbook high-frequency execution.
And it lines up with Jane Street’s profile:
• They’re one of the biggest HFT firms globally • They have the liquidity, speed, and size to move BTC for short bursts • They specialize in exploiting microstructure inefficiencies
The playbook looks straightforward: 1. Sell hard into the open 2. Knock price into liquidity zones 3. Buy back lower 4. Repeat daily
By doing this, they’ve quietly stacked billions in BTC.
Right now, Jane Street reportedly holds $2.5B in BlackRock’s IBIT ETF, making it their 5th largest position.
So the repeated dumps aren’t necessarily macro-driven — they’re likely the result of one dominant player executing a structured strategy.
And once these firms finish accumulating, the broader uptrend in $BTC should resume with even more strength #GIVEAWAY🎁 #redpacket

OneCoin (commonly referred to in Chinese as 维卡币) has been described by The Times as the largest cryptocurrency scam in history.
Scam preparation and packaging: In August 2014, Bulgarian Ruja Ignatova, along with others, founded OneCoin. She forged her credentials, including a degree from Oxford University, to create an authoritative image as the "Crypto Queen". She also generated hype by faking a Forbes cover story and hosting luxurious summits, falsely claiming that OneCoin was a "Bitcoin killer" supported by blockchain technology, deceiving investors.
Operational model: The project lacks a real blockchain and distributed ledger; the so-called transaction data is entirely controlled by backend manipulation. It expanded through multi-level marketing, requiring investors to purchase "starter product packages" ranging from 130 to 18,000 euros to join. By developing downlines, members could earn tiered commissions, with membership levels reaching up to 140 tiers, entirely dependent on funds from later investors to pay returns to earlier ones, making it a typical Ponzi scheme.
Scam outbreak and whereabouts of core personnel: In January 2017, its internal exchange was shut down, and most members were unable to withdraw funds. In October of the same year, Ruja Ignatova fled upon learning of an investigation by U.S. law enforcement and has been missing ever since. In 2022, she was placed on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted Fugitives" list, with a reward later raised to $5 million.
Subsequent accountability and impact: Many countries subsequently launched crackdowns, with her brother and other core members being arrested and sentenced. There were over 2 million members in the Chinese region alone, with the amount involved exceeding 15 billion yuan, and 98 key figures were publicly prosecuted. The scam amassed over $4.4 billion globally, affecting more than 3.5 million people, and has led to social issues such as family breakdowns and extreme claims in some areas, also driving improvements in cryptocurrency regulation in various countries.

The crypto world has no free rides; every step counts【800u🧧】
Have you ever tossed and turned in insomnia over the fluctuations of the K-line? Have you doubted your direction in the agony of sideways markets? Have you felt anxious amidst the wealth myths of others? In fact, the journey in the crypto world has never been a sprint but a marathon that traverses bull and bear markets, where what is tested is not fleeting luck, but long-lasting patience and clear awareness.
The market always cycles through phases; the euphoria of a bull market will fade, and the gloom of a bear market will eventually dissipate. Those who chose to cut losses and exit during the lows miss out not only on the next round of gains but also on the transformation that comes after navigating the cycles. In contrast, those who hold their ground and cultivate themselves will ultimately grasp true value after the market filters out the bubbles. Former Coinbase co-founder has stated that after experiencing three bull and bear cycles, the industry ecosystem becomes stronger after each cycle; truly good projects are forged in the crucible of a bear market.
What is most precious in the crypto world is not the ability to predict precise price points but the composure to control the rhythm amidst volatility. Don't let short-term ups and downs sway your emotions; don't mistake frequent trading for effort. Remain calm and not blindly follow when holding coins, stay vigilant and not restless when in cash. The mindset is key, allowing you to secure your winning chances. Remember, you are in control of your investments, not manipulated by the market—guard your principal as the last line of defense, use stop-losses to retain the chance to start over, employ dollar-cost averaging to spread risk, and arm your understanding through learning. Slow down and be steady, and you will go further instead.
Some say the crypto world is one of the few chances for ordinary people to make a comeback, but this opportunity is reserved for the 'participants' and the 'awakened.' During bull markets, don't be greedy or seek quick gains; during bear markets, don't lose heart or give up. Save money and build strength, focus on learning; every pullback is a reward for patience, and every steadfastness is paving the way for the future.
Please believe, there are no free rides in the crypto world; every wait has its significance, and every accumulation is building strength. Only through the storms can you see the rainbow; enduring the bear market will eventually welcome the bull market. Maintain your rhythm and patience, and what you desire will be given to you by time and the market.
