Bitcoin CME Gap At $39,700

As CME flipped Binance to become the largest Bitcoin futures exchange, the CME open interest and other data hold key significance for deciding further BTC price moves.

Popular analyst Willy Woo in a post on X revealed that there’s a Bitcoin CME gap at $39,700 that needs to be filled. It means BTC price needs to correct to $39,700 before embarking on another rally.

He said “By my count 28 out of 30 gaps have been filled on CME daily candles (93%). The other unfilled gap is pictured in the lower left of this chart also.”

In the daily timeframe, Bitcoin seems to pullback from the local high of $44,408. While the community turns down CME Bitcoin narrative due to recent rally and positive sentiment, the Fear and Greed Index is at extreme greed now.

In addition, CME Bitcoin futures open interest (OI) has an open interest of more than $5 billion, decreased by nearly 1% in the last 24 hours. BTC futures OI on Binance has also declined slightly, but still up 1% in the last 24 hours.
