CandleFocus Bitcoin CME Futures Spread Slides to $490, Undoing The 'Trump Bump' in BTC
2025-03-12
Author: Content Editor
The spread between "continuous" next month and front-month standard BTC futures trading on the CME has narrowed to its lowest level since November 5, signaling a reversal of the bullish sentiment that followed Donald Trump's victory in the Presidential elections. Traders are tempering their price expectations and the market is moving past the belief that a pro-crypto President in the White House is positive for the industry. The market has been impacted by factors such as geopolitical uncertainty, Trump tariffs, and the outlook for inflation and economic growth. Disappointment over the lack of fresh purchases in Trump's strategic digital asset reserve plan has also caused a decline in Bitcoin's price. Despite the narrowing spread between futures contracts, the entire curve remains in contango, suggesting that the recent move is driven by unleveraged spot longs being squeezed rather than broader market contagion.
