CME Gap Around $9000
Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s (CME) has launched the Bitcoin futures market in 2017. The CME BTC futures contracts are settled in cash. Mostly all the cryptocurrency exchanges run 24*7 but CME futures contracts only trade 5 days a week from Monday to Friday.
If Bitcoin price makes a sudden movement either side on Saturday and Sunday that will leave a gap on the CME futures charts. This is well known as Bitcoin will fill the gaps by price movements.
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s (CME) BTC futures market started with a gap on Monday. The BTC futures market on Friday was closed on $8715 and opened at $9700 on Monday. The gap is at $8800-$9200 and needs to be filled as happened with the previous CME market gaps.
The previous CME BTC futures gap is filled by the major drop on 24 September. This is interesting that the CME charts have moving averages on different levels. The daily 50 MA on CME chart is at $9234 and the 200 daily MA is at $7496. That is a huge difference from the other charts provided by cryptocurrency exchanges.
Bullish Scenario
Bitcoin has registered the third biggest gains since 2009. The price pumped from $7300 to $10,400, that is around 42% growth in a few hours. The good thing is that the price is not dumped drastically and now trading in a tight range. The range shows that traders are accumulating Bitcoin at the current levels.
The good news is that Bitcoin is now trading above the daily 50 and 200 MA. The daily 50 and 200 MA acts as a support and Bitcoin will test the 50 and 200 MA before pumping again.
The CME futures gap is also not far below the current market price and also close to the daily 50 MA point. If bitcoin is going to fill the CME gap, most of the traders remain bullish as it trades above the 200 MA.
The Chinese president comment influence is still in the market that will push the price to even more higher. The searches about Bitcoin and Blockchain increase dramatically on the Chinese search engine Wechat.
Bearish Scenario
When you look at the daily candles, Bitcoin has registered 42% gains on 25 October and touched the price of $10,500. The price is rejected from the $10,500 levels and the candle close at $9200 forming a large wick on the daily candle.
Wick candles are known as bearish market sentiments, however, that not make a sense because the market has already moved more than 40% and needs little correction.
As most of the CME futures gaps are filled in the past, this newly created gap is most likely to be filled. To fill this gap Bitcoin needs to trade below $9000 point, that will turn the market sentiments and will lead to heavy sell-off.
