#bitcoin #btc has closed a historical #CME #GAPAs you see on the chart, there was very important #CMEFUTURES gap at 35 - 36K area which was opened in #luna collapse times. Now, #btcusdt price has CLOSED this historical gap and what now?
It' s too early to say #btcprice will go on through the #bullrun or " BTC will directly go to close the OTHER historical GAP at 20 - 21K region!.."
Now, just relax and watch the #market and especially #BTCdominance. #BTCD will reveal the direction of the market. I will update my thoughts.
As you see on the chart, there only 1 #CME #FUTURES #GAP left at 20 - 21K region. Don' t underestimate this and also don' t be pessimistic, just carefully watch #bitcoin moves.

Understanding Bitcoin CME Gaps: Importance/Trading StrategiesBitcoin CME Gaps are price gaps that occur in the Bitcoin futures market, specifically on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). These gaps happen when the closing price of a Bitcoin futures contract on the CME differs significantly from the opening price of the next contract. Here's why they are important and how to trade them briefly:
Importance:
Technical Analysis: Traders often pay attention to CME Gaps because they can act as significant support or resistance levels on Bitcoin's price chart.
Market Psychology: These gaps can signal abrupt shifts in market sentiment, which can influence future price movements.
Volatility: Bitcoin is known for its price volatility, and CME Gaps can exacerbate price swings, making them important for risk management.
How to Trade:
Fill the Gap: Some traders believe that CME Gaps tend to get "filled" eventually, meaning that Bitcoin's price will return to the level of the gap and close it. They might place buy orders just above the gap and sell orders just below it.
Confirmation: It's essential to wait for confirmation before trading CME Gaps. This can include observing price action, volume, and overall market sentiment.
Risk Management: Trading CME Gaps can be risky. Use stop-loss orders to limit potential losses, and don't bet too much of your capital on a single trade.
Remember that while CME Gaps can be significant, they are not foolproof trading signals, and trading cryptocurrencies is inherently risky. It's crucial to have a well-thought-out trading plan and consider other factors, such as fundamental analysis and market news, in your decision-making process.
BTC Long, bottom or another bear trap?28.5k is the invalidation line for continued bull momo. Close below it on the dailv and I think BTC either sees another bear trap/ deviation to 26k followed by a bull reversal to 37k. If the bear trap is set it is extremely risky to play. If it fails, BTC could hit at least 23k for AUG and 20k to 18.8k for SEP because both are statistically red months during the recovery phase of previous bull runs.
However, there is a minor bull case for the bulls considering we are at the bottom end of a linear regression trend from the bottom at 16k to the current price.
Nonetheless, I do expect volatility soon.
Trades:
Trade 1
Long 28650, sl 28000, tp 30500, 32000, 36500, 40000
Conviction moderate. High chance of getting stopped out if 28.5k keeps getting tested and removing liquidity from that region.
Trade 2
Long 26300, sl 24000, tp 30500, 32000, 36500, 40000
Conviction high. Lowered chance of getting stopped out and if a bear trap were to occur, this is the ideal entry.
Trade 3
Short 30500, sl 32000, tp 28500, 26500 (close here if there's bull volume), 24500, 21000, 19500
Conviction moderate. Might get front runned ~29.5k. but use this trade as a hedge against another false rally that leads into a bear trap ~26k, or even worse at 20k if theres no bullish volume for the expected trap.
Decoding Bitcoin's Latest CME Gap: An Insightful AnalysisOver the past weekend, Bitcoin experienced a significant sell-off, causing a price discrepancy to form, commonly referred to as a 'gap'. This gap is discernible between the present Bitcoin market price and the closing price from last Friday (as per New York time). Notably, these gaps, often identified in futures markets such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), can serve as potential signals for traders. It's currently anticipated that this gap could be filled in the near future. The phenomenon of 'filling the gap' refers to the price retracing its steps back to the level before the gap was formed, thus restoring market equilibrium. The market's response to this development will be closely watched by traders and investors alike.
Bitcoin - New CME GAP! + All unfilled GAPS (cheat)
Bitcoin has created a new CME GAP between 28215 - 28265. It's also the POC of the consolidation structure, so it could be a good short-term trade when the price makes a pullback.
First, let me explain some important facts about CME gaps. CME Futures on Bitcoin started in December 2017. We had dozens of unfilled gaps from 2017 - 2023, and all of them have been filled. So the statistical probability of filling these gaps on Bitcoin is 100%. When the CME futures started, the huge bear market of 2017–2018 started, and Bitcoin crashed by 84%.
Let me remind you (if you forget it), that the major CME GAP between 20330 - 21110 is completely uncovered, and the question is when we will cover it. It can take a few weeks or a few months, or maybe later. Time is not important.
In total, we have 3 unfilled GAPs on the daily chart. One is above the current price between 34450 - 35180. Two are below the current price, between 28215 - 28265 and 20330 - 21110.
On the left side of the chart, you can see fair value GAPS on the spot market. These gaps tend to be filled if they are massive, and these gaps are extremely huge. In my opinion, we are going to go down sooner or later, fill them, and take liquidity below 15.5k. It could happen in Q4-2023 or Q1-2024 due to my calculations.

Bullish Railway Track Pattern in 1 hour chart Hello,
What you see with a blue arrow is the bullish railway track pattern.
However, Patterns do fail.
So, as we are on the weekend, the volume will be low.
Even then if BTC moves higher than on Monday we will have a CME gap which will bring back the price to 28450.
So keep your trades safe.
PUT SL and trade with low lev.
CME Gaps: Don't Ignore Them... How often have you heard this term “CME gap” on Twitter, Reddit and other social media platforms. People usually refer to CME gaps during and after the weekends. “There is a CME gap at $9800”, “Bitcoin is about to make a huge gap on the CME chart”, “gap has been filled” and so on.
What is CME
CME stands for Chicago Mercantile Exchange. It is the world’s largest financial derivatives exchange. This futures platform allows one to trade variety of asset classes like: agricultural products, energy, stock indices, fiat currencies, interest rates, real estates, metals and even they have futures trading options for weather.
What is a GAP
To put it plainly; A gap is simply an area on a chart that has no trades. It is basically an empty space between the close and open price of an asset. You can see the current gap just filled down at 19k-20k last week.
CME Bitcoin futures gap: Bitcoin (BTC) is being traded 24/7 on majority of crypto exchanges, but not on CME. Bitcoin does not trade during weekends on CME and this causes gap on CME chart once the trading resumes on the platform. The CME gap on Bitcoin typically occurs when the price of Bitcoin moves after the CME futures market is closed. Once CME opens; the trade on CME resumes at the same price as other Bitcoin exchanges thus creating a gap on the CME chart.
Why do they fill?
Price gaps getting filled is not just a CME phenomenon and is not just a Bitcoin thing. It’s a common occurrence that can also be seen quite regularly within stock and traditional markets. In most cases the price tend to fill the gaps and due to this many technical analysts consider gaps when doing price analysis. But why do they fill?
In physics there is a famous saying: “Nature abhors a vacuum“. This idiom is used to express the idea that any unfilled, empty spaces are unnatural and goes against the laws of physics and nature. This is based on Aristotle’s observation. Nature contains no vacuums because the denser surrounding material continuum would immediately fill the rarity of an incipient void.
Could this possibly be the reason why the gaps are getting filled?
Well, there are several different theories regarding this but the fact is no one exactly knows why gaps fill.
Trading based on BTC gaps
Although CME accounts for a large portion of BTC traded volume, the price of Bitcoin does not necessarily gravitate towards CME gaps. There are so many other factors such as Volume, momentum, buy / sell pressure, technical structures, support / resistance and many more.Traders consider gaps as an interesting marker on a chart. But they don’t necessarily trade on as they are not always a reliable indicator. They have high hit rate and so using them on your technical analysis will help you position yourself on the right side of the trade. However taking a trade solely based on this one factor is a wrong move. Trading gaps seems like an easy strategy but the risks are high and in most cases you’ll be on the losing side. So do not risk your trade account with just this one strategy. Use proper risk management, set stop losses and be sure to trade safe.
Apart from this there are other types of gaps which traders use in their technical analysis like for example: Liquidity gap, Breakaway, Balanced price range, Fair Value gap and so on...
I have located all the 'Unfilled' CME BTC gaps in the chart...
Be careful if you are in Long in BTCHello All,
BTC has filled the CME gap of 28k. There is a big CME gap at around 21000. See the Chart below.
1h, 1d and 1 week are all in the overbought zone as per the RSI indicator.
so be careful if you are in long with high Lev.

Mini Bullrun will be over soon !!Here are my considerations :
- CME GAP at 27.3K-28.7K is about to close
- Closing CME GAP will catch the GoldenPocket
- Leaving CME GAP at 20.3K-21.1K
- Has a Bearish Divergence
- WMA is already in DeadCross
- Still moving within the BearFlag Channel
Keep Rescanning and DYOR
BTC False Breakout Potential at 25K !!BTC has a lot of potential to make a trap at 25K.
It can be seen that on the daily chart, BTC already has a Bearish Divergent.
On the weekly chart, DeathCross has just been discovered on BTC for the first time.
the movement is still in the BearFlag pattern.
Stay careful, and keep DYOR
Potential buy for BTC 🚀I'm thinking about installing a limit around the CME GAP in January.
Here are some of my considerations:
• BTC will retest MA50 & MA200 support Which is already the Golden Cross.
• At the same time it will close the CME GAP
• Cup and Handle Formation will be formed
• Also will be Inverse Head & Shoulders
• Maybe the RSI will also make a Hidden Bullish Divergence
CME GAP at 28K is my target 🚀🚀
Sorry my bad english 🙏
CME close as minor S/R levels.Not a great deal of excitement to be had from bitcoin lately. However here's a recurring pattern i have been observing lately since we've been stuck in so many tight ranges. Quite simply the horizontal lines here correspond to recent CME weekly close prices. The whole gap filling thing is well known so i won't go into that but what is more interesting is how many times these lines have provided minor supports and resistances when viewed in shorter time frames. Last week's close level has provided us 6 small bounces since tuesday, perhaps more if we zoom into even lower timeframes from last weekend. This is not an isolated case either.
Obviously this is mainly of interest for scalping while the market is so tightly bound but it's useful to note that some like the 18th and 25th Nov closes lower down have also given us so larger bounces.
To clarify the price i'm using is the actual weekly close from the CME futures regardless of any divergence it has from the spot price at that same time. Initially i was just looking at them for gap fill targets but it seems they continue to be useful even after that. Worth taking the time to explore this while the market is sideways. I expect this idea will become obsolete whenever btc starts to show signs of a trending direction, either up or down. Of course, we may be waiting some for that to happen.
10k BTC if the price doesn't hold support!Here's a quick look at the weekly BTC chart. As we can see, the price is currently in the crucial support zone, and the price has to hold the support zone to avoid a significant downside. If the price doesn't manage to keep the critical support zone, the price will likely end up in the 12.5k - 9.5k price range.
I must mention that there is still an open CME gap at 9.7k, and we may very well end up at the 9k level and thereby close that CME gap. Tho there's no specific timeline for when they'll get filled.
-------------------------------------------
What is a CME gap?
Key points:
A CME gap is a break in the graph of the trading prices of an asset, in this case, Bitcoin. So if BTC closed at 8700, then opened the next session at 9400, there would be a 700-point gap in the chart. Some traders believe that gaps will get “filled.” Meaning the asset will go back down, in this example, and “fill the gap.”

CME Reportables for BitcoinThe CME report for the 23rd to 30th of August came out Friday and saw interesting price action from Bitcoin.
Another approximate 1k range is currently between 20.4k and 19.3k.
This is similar to the previous range of 21.8k to 20.8k.
As of the report, Exchanges (Dealers/Intermediaries) increased their Longs by a massive 293%.
The change in Shorts being negligible could indicate an interest in holding the current lows.
Asset Managers / Institutionals are still closing their long positions and adding shorts however
given that the majority of their Long positions were created in November, December, and again in March
they are currently very out of position and this seems to be an act to hedge themselves and mitigate risk.
This can be seen as they have closed 1306 positions or 18% of their Longs since August 16th.
2 CME Gaps in Price Action still exist from November and December of 2020 at 17k and 18k.
With the majority of low leverage liquidity from July and August under the current low at 19.3k
a breakdown in price would occur swiftly to test lows from the beginning of July.
Until this range is confirmed broken, then the Support at 19.3k and 20.4k is still valid.
A word of caution; Be very careful Shorting into Support or Longing into Resistance.
Wait for confirmation of range break and assume it is a fakeout until it is confirmed as a breakout.
🤖 #BTCLIVE - 09.08 - #IDEA 🤖🤖 #BTCLIVE - 09.08 - #IDEA 🤖
60:40 Mid-Term
Bullish:Bearish
Technical Analysis:
Current Status:
Big rejection hit as outlined in yesterdays BTCLIVE with TD9's, Exhaustion candle and bearish divergence into resistance - multiplied by the Tornado Cash blacklisting. We have taken out the high support of $23.8k and looking to test the more critical support of $23.2k. There is a large amount of support in this area:
- 50EMA
- 20 EMA
- Weekly Pivot
- CME Gap
- Trendline
- Potential Bullish Divergence
That should hopefully, the key analysis is the bullish divergence that is not confirmed yet but could help support a retest and bounce here. A long with a pretty tight stop-loss here could be an option, although keep the stop-loss tight - very high risk. The only issue is that there is a considerably amount of unpredictable new circulating atm, especially the Tornado Cash blacklisting as this could be a floodgate to other services and the depth may be quite damaging as it is unlikely this will be isolated to just Tornado Cash. The rest of the news is not particularly impactful so just keep an eye on how this unfolds - it will be interesting to see what the US does when on line. On the whole I am still more bullish than bearish
Bullish Scenario
Bounce here at $23.2k and track up to longterm range target of $25k - $26k. A lot of TA suggesting a possible bounce along with a lot of volume if the US market doesnt drop the price below $23k the it would all be relatively bullish.
Bearish Scenario
If the Tornado Cash impact unfolds to affect more services then unloading of BTC reserves could start occurring - I believe this was the cause of the recent dump - a daily close below $23.2k would likely lead to further downward pressure with a realistic target of $22k.

CME Gap: 2022 JulAfter 6 months absence, going to start my monthly thread on CME:BTC1!
I have updated the monthly direction table for last 6 months. Even during a major bull run majority of the time CME Week was showing a weakness. However for last 6 months, CME week is showing a more of a ranging performance followed by weakness.
CME Data:
Trade Volume increasing while Open Interest is reducing, meaning contracts are getting closed prior to settlement.
Gaps: Currently 2 major gaps are open
Gap Open - 2022 May , within the price range of 34450 to 35925
Gap Open - 2022 June, within the price range of 27300 to 28945
Trades: Looking for short if price tries to get stronger prior to final settlement date.
