So here's a question that's been on a lot of traders' minds lately: will we keep seeing this morning slam pattern show up again next year?

For those unfamiliar, the 10am slam refers to the recurring price dip that tends to happen around that time in traditional market hours. It's become almost predictable—you set your alarm, watch the charts, and there it is.

Last year was wild with it. Year two? Still happened. Now we're wondering if this is just becoming part of the crypto market DNA, or if market conditions and participant behavior are shifting enough that the pattern might finally break.

There's solid logic on both sides. On one hand, if enough players know about it and factor it in, the pattern should theoretically disappear—that's basic market efficiency. But on the flip side, the fact that it keeps repeating suggests there might be structural reasons driving it. Maybe it's tied to traditional market opens, or specific whale behavior, or institutional positioning. If those fundamentals stay the same, why wouldn't the slam continue?

What's your take? Do you think we'll see it happen for a third year running, or are we finally looking at a market shift that kills the pattern?
