🚨 We need to find an enemy and put a hat on the market downturn 🚨
In every crypto bull cycle, you need an enemy to explain previous pain. Now the narrative says: That Jane Street manipulated at 10 a.m. with artificial selling pressure = because stopping the pressure = a 10% rise from an analytical perspective. But 🔹 No regulatory statement has been issued confirming the existence of proven systematic manipulation. 🔹 The 10 a.m. movement may be related to market openings, US liquidity, position settlements, or ETF flows. 🔹 Linking the market rise to an unproven claim may be a case of causal bias (Post Hoc Bias). The market doesn't always need a culprit to rise; sometimes it just needs: 🔹 Excessive short selling 🔹 Short squeeze 🔹 Sudden liquidity shift Summary: So far, there is no public legal evidence proving the manipulation narrative at 10 a.m. And if a formal investigation later finds something, it will be a completely different event. But building an investment conviction based on a rumor… is the fastest way to fall into the trap of narratives.

🚨 We need to find an enemy and put a hat on the market downturn 🚨
In every crypto bull cycle, you need an enemy to explain previous pain.
Now the narrative says:
That Jane Street manipulated at 10 a.m. with artificial selling pressure = because stopping the pressure = a 10% rise from an analytical perspective.
But
🔹 No regulatory statement has been issued confirming the existence of proven systematic manipulation.
🔹 The 10 a.m. movement may be related to market openings, US liquidity, position settlements, or ETF flows.
🔹 Linking the market rise to an unproven claim may be a case of causal bias (Post Hoc Bias).
The market doesn't always need a culprit to rise; sometimes it just needs:
🔹 Excessive short selling
🔹 Short squeeze
🔹 Sudden liquidity shift
Summary:
So far, there is no public legal evidence proving the manipulation narrative at 10 a.m.
And if a formal investigation later finds something, it will be a completely different event.
But building an investment conviction based on a rumor…
is the fastest way to fall into the trap of narratives.
