Key Points:
Bitcoin futures try to close the gap in the latest weekend after its rebound.
Traders have warned that the overall weakness in the BTC price comes amid low volume.
The price forecast quickly sees a pullback to test the next ,000 100,000.
Bitcoin (BTC) fell to a weekly low on Tuesday with all eyes on the “gap” that opened in Bitcoin futures.
Bitcoin Fights Its Latest CME Futures Gap
Data from QuintalGraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD dipping at 7,107,460 on Bitstamp.
Down 2.5 percent on the day, the pair failed to rebound from its earlier week but stopped short of “filling” the latest gap in CME Group’s bitcoin futures market.
Thanks to weekend price volatility, futures close at the end of the weekend and open at another.
The market then tends to “fill” the gap by returning to the space to the left between the open and close levels. Often, this happens within days or even hours.
“$BTC opened this week with a small CCME gap at the bottom. Price came down to close some of it, but still has a bit to do. Keep in mind if price trades close to that,” trader DonCryptoTrades wrote in an X post on the subject.
“Also, we closed a big gap last week at 110K K. This was a gap left behind before BTC rallied to all-time highs in late September.”
Filling the gap at this point would mean a return of about $107,390. During last week’s market rout, Bitcoin futures shed nearly $103,750.
“Bulls would like to keep 7 107K going forward,” DonCryptoTrades said on Monday.
“If it were to start grinding back, and get closer to last Friday’s week, that would just show me a lot of weakness.”
Traders saw a failure of the 100,000 BTC price support
Some traders continued to prepare for new local bottoms, including the elimination of 100,000 support.

Fellow trader Roman argued that Monday’s rebound lacked volume to sustain further BTC price upside.
“Don’t trust the low volume ‘breakout’ as the volume never confirmed a true recovery of support. 100-98K here we come!” she told X followers.
Crypto investor and entrepreneur Ted Pillows also saw the next $100,000 in play if the price of BTC fails to establish a floor.
$BTC Now at an important support level.
If 7 holds the support level of $107,000-$108,000, a bounce could happen.
If Bitcoin loses this level, it may fall towards 100,000 in the coming days. pic.twitter.com/6bioiudmqm

“Overall I expect 100,000 to be invested to reach at least 95,000,” added trader Crypto Tony.
