#JaneStreet10AMDump The #JaneStreet10AMDump saga has reached a fever pitch today, **February 26, 2026**, as the long-observed "10 AM Price Slam" appears to have vanished right alongside a massive legal bombshell. ### The Lawsuit That "Broke" the Algos On February 23–24, the bankruptcy estate of **Terraform Labs** filed an explosive 83-page lawsuit in Manhattan federal court against **Jane Street**. * **The Allegation:** The suit claims Jane Street used "privileged back-channel information" to front-run the **$40 billion Terra-Luna collapse** in May 2022. * **The Specifics:** It alleges that just 10 minutes after Terraform withdrew $150 million from the Curve 3pool to adjust liquidity, a wallet linked to Jane Street dumped **$85 million in UST**, accelerating the de-peg that destroyed the ecosystem. ### Why #JaneStreet10AMDump is Trending For months, traders have complained of a "mechanical" sell-off hitting Bitcoin every day at exactly 10:00 AM ET. Following the lawsuit news, social media analysts (and even some institutional desks) noted that this daily dumping **abruptly stopped**. * **The Result:** Without that heavy morning sell pressure, Bitcoin surged from **$63,000** back toward **$70,000**, sparking the broader **#MarketRebound**. * **The Theory:** Speculation is rampant that Jane Street’s compliance team ordered a "halt" on specific high-frequency algorithms to avoid further regulatory scrutiny during the litigation. ### The #MarketRebound Reality Check While the "death of the dump" is a great narrative, other factors are fueling this bounce: * **Short Squeeze:** Heavily leveraged shorts who were betting on the 10 AM dump were liquidated when the price "ripped higher" instead. * **Macro Relief:** Market sentiment shifted positively after the effective rate of new tariffs was confirmed at **10%** (lower than the feared 15%), leading to a relief rally in both the Nasdaq and Crypto. --- ### Key Levels to Watch | Asset | Curren Resistance | Status | | --- | --- | --- | --- | |$BTC $ETH $BNB
