 Bitcoin jumps 10% and adds $120B after Jane Street lawsuit as 10 AM drop pattern pauses; crypto market gains $200B.

Bitcoin recorded a sharp rebound within two days of a lawsuit filed against Jane Street, and traders noted a shift in a recurring 10 AM price pattern. 

The timing drew attention across the crypto market, as prices climbed and selling pressure eased during a period that had often seen declines.

Bitcoin Price Reversal After Five Red Weeks

Bitcoin rose about 10% over the past two days. The move added nearly $120 billion to its market value.

Market data showed the weekly candle turned green after five straight red weeks.

The rebound came after a prolonged period of weakness. During that stretch, Bitcoin faced steady selling pressure and lower weekly closes.

The recent price action marked the first clear break in that sequence.

Trading volumes also increased during the rally. Analysts observed stronger spot demand, while derivatives data showed reduced short pressure.

The shift supported the broader market recovery.

Bitcoin Daily Price Chart Analysis

On the daily price chart, Bitcoin is showing early signs of recovery after a strong sell-off pushed the price near the $60,000 level. 

The daily chart reflects a bounce toward $68,000, while recent candles indicate renewed buying interest. Despite this move, the broader structure still reflects a prior series of lower highs.

Momentum indicators are beginning to stabilize. 

The MACD histogram has turned positive, and the MACD line is moving closer to a bullish crossover.

This suggests downside momentum is weakening, though confirmation requires sustained upward movement.

Immediate resistance is located between $70,000 and $72,000. A decisive break above that zone could support further upside.

If price fails to hold above $65,000, downside risk toward the $60,000 support level may return.

The Bitcoin 10 AM Drop Pattern and Market Attention

For months, some traders pointed to a recurring 10 AM sell-off in Bitcoin and informally called it the “Jane Street dump,” though no formal link was proven. 

For weeks, traders tracked price declines around that hour, and social media users described it as a recurring sell-off window.

The pattern was widely discussed but not formally verified by exchanges or data firms.

This week, Jane Street was named in an insider trading lawsuit, and the timing drew attention across trading desks.

The following morning at 10 AM, Bitcoin moved higher instead of posting another sharp drop.

The absence of the usual decline was noted by short-term traders and market observers. No direct link has been confirmed between the lawsuit and the price shift.

Market participants acknowledged the timing but avoided firm conclusions. Data providers have not released formal research confirming a structured 10 AM trading pattern.

Broader Crypto Market Adds $200 Billion

The broader crypto market also moved higher during the same period. Total market value increased by nearly $200 billion.

Major assets such as Ethereum and Solana posted gains alongside Bitcoin.

The recovery followed weeks of volatility across digital assets. Sentiment had remained cautious due to macroeconomic concerns and regulatory developments.

The recent gains improved short-term momentum. Market observers continue to monitor price action around the 10 AM window.

It remains unclear whether the earlier pattern will return. Traders are watching both legal developments and trading flows for further direction.

Satoshi-Era Mt. Gox’s 1,000 Bitcoin Wallet Suddenly Reactivated

The post Satoshi-Era Mt. Gox’s 1,000 Bitcoin Wallet Suddenly Reactivated appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. X account @SaniExp, which belongs to the founder of the Timechain Index explorer, has published data showing that a dormant BTC wallet was activated after hibernating for six years. However, it was set up 13 years ago, according to the tweet — the time when Satoshi Nakamoto’s shadow was still casting itself around, so to speak. The X post states that the tweet belongs to infamous early Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox, which suffered from a major hack in the early 2010s, and last year it began paying out compensation to clients who lost their crypto in that hack. The deadline was eventually extended to October 2025. Mt. Gox’s wallet with 1,000 BTC reactivated The above-mentioned data source shared a screenshot from the Timechain Index explorer, showing multiple transactions marked as confirmed and moving a total of 1,000 Bitcoins. This amount of crypto is valued at $116,195,100 at the time of the initiated transaction. Last year, Mt. Gox began to move the remains of its gargantuan funds to pay out compensations to its creditors. Earlier this year, it also made several massive transactions to partner exchanges to distribute funds to Mt. Gox investors. All of the compensations were promised to be paid out by Oct. 31, 2025. The aforementioned transaction is likely preparation for another payout. The exchange was hacked for several years due to multiple unnoticed security breaches, and in 2014, when the site went offline, 744,408 Bitcoins were reported stolen.

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward. FOMC Makes First Fed Rate Cut This Year With 25 Bps Cut In a press release, the committee announced that it has decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps from between 4.25% and 4.5% to 4% and 4.25%. This comes in line with expectations as market participants were pricing in a 25 bps cut, as against a 50 bps cut. This marks the first Fed rate cut this year, with the last cut before this coming last year in December. Notably, the Fed also made the first cut last year in September, although it was a 50 bps cut back then. All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…
