This Monday, CME Bitcoin futures opened with a $395 gap. Friday close was $89,425, and Monday opened at $89,820. This empty space on the chart is called a CME Bitcoin futures gap.
Why This Gap Happens
CME futures stop trading on weekends.
Bitcoin spot market trades 24/7.
Weekend price changes create the gap.
Why Traders Care
Gaps often act like magnets.
Price usually comes back to “fill” the gap area.
A gap-up shows weekend bullish sentiment.
What This Gap Means Now
Shows strong buying over the weekend.
Traders will watch if price falls back to $89,425 area.
If momentum stays strong, BTC may continue upward without filling immediately.
How Traders Use It
Watch for a gap fill zone.
Use it for stop-loss / take-profit levels.
Combine with volume, RSI, MACD — don’t trade using gap alone.
Key Points
Not all gaps fill fast; sometimes days or weeks.
Not a guaranteed signal.
Useful mainly as a high-probability zone.
