Bitcoin CME gaps occur when there is a difference between the closing price of Bitcoin on the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) futures market and the opening price of the next trading session. These gaps are often watched by traders as they can indicate potential price movements.
In Bitcoin’s case, gaps are often filled, meaning the price might move to fill the gap. However, based on current analysis, Bitcoin may experience a pullback to approximately $61,400 to close this gap.
What to Expect in Q4
Bitcoin is currently in its typical seasonal pattern, known as the “chop season,” which usually runs from March to early October. Meanwhile, prominent crypto trader Crypto Jelle suggests that Bitcoin’s price movements are often erratic, with no clear direction.
