Bitcoin Price Sets for Rally to $35K

Traders are eyeing Bitcoin to fill the CME Bitcoin Futures gap between $34455 and $35180. CME gap refers to a price discrepancy that arises between the closing price of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Bitcoin futures market on Friday and the opening price on Sunday.

While there’s strong resistance above $30k, traders strongly believe the CME gap is about to get filled soon. The weekly and monthly close on June 30 is key to watch out for.

Bitcoin CME Gap

Over 145k BTC options with a notional value of $4.5 billion are about to expire on Friday, June 30. The Put/Call Ratio is 0.52, with call open interests of 95k and put open interests of 49k. The max pain is at 25,000. The max pain point is the price at which the largest number of options holders face financial loss. Currently, the BTC price is trading near the $30,750 level.

July Bitcoin futures prices are firmer and near this week’s contract high in early U.S. trading Friday. The bulls have gained a solid overall near-term technical advantage following this week’s strong price gains. The path of least resistance for prices is sideways to higher in the near term.
