Can you mark the exact moment the ruling was made public? Could this image contain evidence of trading w/ insider knowledge of the SEC ruling?

This is an incredibly interesting observation. I wonder if this has shown in other non-BTC graphs as well

This was etherium, which is also very interesting; etherium and BTC have been highly correlated over the last few months. I suspect that the crazy dip is just bots trading on that fact and the immediate correction is humans.

Yes. Evidence of early releases of this sort of information shows up in market data regularly.

The drop started at the exact time SEC made the announcement through their web.

Interesting part was, it went from 1250 way up to 1350 hours before the announcement making people feel someone bought on insider information but turned out that was some FOMO buyer.

I was trading right then sticking to the monitor for 8 hours straight waiting for their announcement.

Eh, it'll be back. It has died a thousand times.
