Bitcoin’s (BTC) price on CME futures dropped to a low of around $76,700 on Monday, officially filling the CME futures gap that was created on Nov. 5, when President Trump won the U.S. election.
At the end of February, bitcoin (BTC) briefly fell to approximately $78,500, partially filling the gap, as the lowest point of the gap was $77,400. However, since CME futures only dropped to around $78,500 at that time, the gap remained partially open. With Monday’s decline to $76,700, the gap—ranging from $77,930 to $80,600—has now been fully closed.
For context, CME bitcoin futures trade 23 hours a day, from Sunday through Friday, whereas bitcoin spot markets trade 24/7. Gaps occur when there is a difference between the futures market closing price and the opening price for the next day due to the absence of trading activity during off-hours.
CoinDesk research noted that out of the previous 80 CME futures gaps, all but one have eventually been filled. As for remaining gaps, one still exists between $84,200 and $85,900.
