Jane Street keeps showing up in major market dislocations 🎯
India. Bitcoin. Now $CAR. ⚡
Here’s the full picture — 💣
The $CAR Setup:
Avis — struggling company
Heavy losses, massive debt, declining revenues
Then two hedge funds —
SRS Investment + Pentwater
quietly accumulated ~71% of shares
with exposure reportedly exceeding total float 🌍
Short interest exploded:
54% → 86%+ of free float shorted ☠️
Result:
Not enough shares for shorts to exit
Billions in losses
Stock surged massively in weeks 💣
Now enter Jane Street
~5% equity stake 📋
$400M+ exposure) 📈
Call options profit when price rises
But volatility is where the real money is made 🎯
The Structure:
Equity = positioning
Options = profit engine
Volatility = trigger
Win on the squeeze up ✅
Win again on the move down ✅
Pattern seen across markets:
India — regulator action, $567M impounded ☠️
Bitcoin — repeated volatility cycles
Sharp drops → rebounds → liquidity capture 💣
Terra/LUNA — legal scrutiny, early exits alleged 🎯
$CAR — extreme squeeze dynamics
Options + forced hedging → price explosion 🌍
Core idea:
Cash positions move markets
Derivatives extract the profit
Retail becomes exit liquidity ☠️
No formal wrongdoing proven
But the pattern is raising serious questions 📉
The squeeze was phase one…
