An important Chicago Mercantile Exchange Bitcoin (BTC) futures gap closed as BTC/USD suddenly dropped below $54,000 on Feb. 22. A CME gap forms when the price of Bitcoin moves either up or down after the CME closes during the weekend or holidays in the United States.
Unlike most cryptocurrency exchanges, because the CME Bitcoin futures exchange is not open at all times, a gap forms between CME and many Bitcoin trading platforms. The CME gap is sometimes considered an important gap to fill for the Bitcoin rally to continue in the near term.
