CME Bitcoin Futures Gaps Give Likely Correction Targets, Next Bear Market Bottom

CME Bitcoin Futures Gaps Give Likely Correction Targets, Next Bear Market Bottom
Advertisement
Listen to Article

Over the last few months, Bitcoin price has more than tripled from the deepest depths of its bear market lows, and is well on its way to revisiting its previous all time high of $20,000 it set at the height of the 2017 crypto hype bubble.

But having risen so sharply and so quickly, the first ever crypto asset has left large “gaps” in the price charts of CME Group’s Bitcoin Futures contracts. In financial markets, these gaps often get filled later on in the asset’s life, and make for ideal correction targets for traders to watch out for, and may even help indicate where a bottom may form in future bear markets.

2019 Bull Run Leaves Behind Gaps on CME Futures Charts

Across a variety of markets, when the price of an asset drops or surges too quickly it can leave an unfilled “gap” on price charts that depicts this sharp rise occurring while normal trading hours were closed. This happens most frequently in speculative asset classes where irrational exuberance can drive the value of an asset far higher than assets with more realistic valuations derived from real worth statistics.

No asset class has been driven more by speculation than cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin, which makes it a prime example of price charts that regulator leaves behind gaps.

3th gap? i dunno man im rooting for a 4rd gap

During the recent rally, many gaps have been left behind – some of which have already been filled. However, as Bitcoin price climbs higher and with the correction everyone is anticipating yet to arrive, analysts are eyeing these gaps as potential retracement targets should a correction occur.

Stats for bitcoin CME weekly gaps greater than 3% during 2019.

There has been a gap greater than 3% on 40% of the weekends; bullish gaps mostly.

Traders are watching four specific gaps at varying price points. Throughout 2019, a 3% or larger gap has been left behind on 40% of weekends – when CME Futures trading closes. Nearly all of the gaps have been filled, and analysts are expect the remaining gaps to be filled eventually.

Chart Gaps Could Indicate Next Bear Market Bitcoin Price Target

Gaps tend to be filled in financial markets, but it’s not guaranteed, and oftentimes the price eventually revisits long forgotten gaps later in the asset’s lifecycle, during downtrends and bear markets.

During the 2017 bull market, Bitcoin price rose so quickly after breaching its previous all-time high just above $1,000 that it left a number of gaps behind.

These gaps eventually served as areas of strong price action during Bitcoin’s bear market, where it spent ample time trading in the $6,000 to $10,000 range that Bitcoin just about skipped past.

If Bitcoin leaves behind unfilled gaps in the $10,000 area, these gaps could serve as bottom targets for the next bear market.

Of course they could also get filled before then, or forever remain unfilled. Markets are fickle, and rarely do what the consensus expects.

Tony Spilotro

I'm Tony Spilotro. Behind the pseudonym, I'm a digital media executive and global remote work leader with a decade of content experience and excellent. Here, I explore my newfound passions pertaining to privacy, finance, economics, politics, cryptography, property rights, and other libertarian-esque views. I am a Bitcoin evangelist, maximalist, and educator whenever I can be, helping to spread its message of freedom from government control, monetary policy mismanagement, and passing the buck - literally – to future generations. My journey from a curious retail crypto investor to a serious Bitcoin advocate, trader, and technical analyst is an unusual one, but life-changing nonetheless and has become less about money and more about a long-overdue revolution. While a firm believer in the laws governing math and science, I am profoundly fascinated by the impact of astrology and astronomy including moon and solar cycles and planetary alignment and their ability to influence and potentially predict markets. It hasn't yet clicked for me as to how to put anything to use, but I consider it my current rabbit hole I can't yet dig out of. My perspective of growing up alongside the internet, the dot com era, the Great Recession, and roots in video games collecting coins and rare items caused Bitcoin to immediately make sense to me. Through all of these lenses, I seek to produce content that is educational and entertaining, and I thank you sincerely for taking the time to read what I have to say. Please follow me on Twitter and feel free to drop me a line if you would like to work together.
