A new Bitcoin Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) gap has just been opened around $78,000 and $80,700. Analysts warn that this price range could act as a magnet for further downturns in the Bitcoin price, making it a critical area to watch in the coming days. According to crypto analyst Rekt Capital on X (formerly Twitter), Bitcoin is currently facing increased volatility as it moves closer to filling a key CME gap between $78,000 and $80,700. A CME gap represents price disparities on the Bitcoin Futures chart traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Open Bitcoin CME Gap Signal Further Downturn Typically, the CME Bitcoin Futures market operates only on weekdays, meaning price movements that occur during weekends tend to leave price gaps. These spaces get filled as price action retraces to cover the imbalances left behind.

Since then, Bitcoin has not revisited this zone; however, Rekt Capital believes it is fast approaching it now. The analyst revealed that after hitting a peak above $100,000, Bitcoin quickly retraced, experiencing a deep correction that pushed it down to its current price of $79,267. Rekt Capital points out that Bitcoins recent decline aligns with historical fractals where CME gaps get filled before its price finds a new direction. According to his chart analysis, if Bitcoin continues on its current downward trajectory, the price range between $78,000 and $80,000 will need to be closely monitored. Holding this range would signal a potential reversal and renewed bullish momentum. However, a failure to maintain support could clear to further declines, with the next major support levels around $71,535 and $60,590. Other market analysts share a similar sentiment. Crypto VIP Signal on X has projected a decline towards the $72,000 – $74,000 support area should Bitcoin fail to maintain the CME gap price level. The analyst highlights that this gap range is BTCs last chance for a price bounce as the market looks increasingly bearish. BTC Enters Oversold Levels For The First Time Since 2024 In addition to its recently opened CME gap, Bitcoin has also entered oversold conditions for the first time since August 2024. This suggests that the Bitcoin price has dropped significantly and is supposedly trading below its actual value, potentially signaling a possible rebound.

Considering the current declined state of the market, this new discovery is seen as a positive signal. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed that in 2024, when Bitcoin reached similar oversold levels, it led to a massive 33% price surge. This implies that if historical trends were to repeat, BTC could also initiate a strong price rally to the upside. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
