The article discusses the concept of the Bitcoin CME gap and its significance in trading Bitcoin. It explains that the CME gap refers to the difference between the trading price of Bitcoin futures contracts when the market opens on Sunday and when it closes on Friday on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). Unlike cryptocurrencies, traditional assets do not trade 24/7, so when the CME futures market is closed over the weekend, there can be a gap between the futures price and the spot price on cryptocurrency exchanges. It is noted that these gaps have often been known to fill, meaning the spot price moves back to the previous close. However, it is emphasized that trading is probabilistic, and the CME gap should be considered as one indicator among others when making trading decisions.
