For weeks, traders noticed a pattern: consistent selling pressure around the 10:00 AM NY session open. Whether coincidence or coordinated liquidity strategy, the effect was clear — intraday upside momentum repeatedly stalled.
But recently… the pattern has weakened.
🔍 What Was Happening?
🕙 NY Open Volatility
Liquidity increases sharply at the US open. That’s when large players can move size efficiently.
📊 Systematic Pressure
Repeated downside spikes created a self-fulfilling expectation — traders began front-running the “10 AM dump.”
⚙️ Liquidity Engineering
When liquidity pools build above price, sell programs can trigger cascading stops and forced liquidations.
📈 What’s Changed?
Recently, the aggressive 10 AM rejection pattern has slowed:
• Fewer sharp downside wicks
• Faster recovery after dips
• Improved intraday structure
This suggests either reduced systematic selling — or stronger absorption from buyers.
🧠 Strategic Perspective
Patterns don’t disappear randomly. They shift when: 1️⃣ Liquidity dynamics change
2️⃣ Positioning becomes crowded
3️⃣ Larger players complete distribution or accumulation
If the 10 AM sell pressure truly fades, intraday bullish continuation setups become more reliable.
But confirmation requires consistency.
Is the “10 AM Sell-Off” era over —
or just temporarily paused before the next volatility wave?
