The price gap between $84,000 and $85,000 in Bitcoin CME futures increases expectations for a short-term pullback.
Bitcoin CME Futures Price Gap: Pullback Expected Between $84,000 and $85,000
As spot Bitcoin (BTC) surged over the weekend, reaching $87,800 on Monday, another price gap emerged between the CME futures closing price on Friday and the start of the new week’s trading.
CME futures closed at $84,190 at the end of last week and opened about $1,000 higher at $85,160. This signals the possibility of a pullback due to Bitcoin’s tendency to fill gaps in CME futures.
By mid-March, Bitcoin had filled the most recent gap created during the November rally following President Donald Trump’s election victory. This gap was fully closed when Bitcoin dropped to $76,700 in mid-March.
Price gaps occur because spot Bitcoin trades 24/7, while CME futures only trade 23 hours a day from Sunday to Friday. When significant price movements occur during the CME’s off-hours, a gap forms between the previous close and the next day’s open.
Historically, Bitcoin has often retraced to fill such gaps. Based on this pattern, Bitcoin is likely to revisit the $84,000 – $85,000 range in the near term.
