Because the spot crypto market trades 24\/7, weekend price movements create these gaps on the CME chart, which closes over the weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The latest gap identified on the 4-hour chart is located precisely between <\/span><b>$110,990 and $111,355<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Historically, the market has a strong tendency to return to \u201cfill the gap\u201d before continuing its primary trend. Therefore, people consider the probability of Bitcoin pulling back to this price zone .<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>For More: <a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/ethereum-cme-shorts-positions-historic-surge\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ethereum Short Positions on CME Historic Surge<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_159290\" style=\"width: 1824px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><noscript><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-159290\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-159290 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image3-2.png\" alt=\"What is a CME Gap and Where is It Located?\" width=\"1814\" height=\"829\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-159290\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: TradingView<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Growing_Scarcity_Signals_Strong_Holding_Sentiment\"\/><b>Growing Scarcity Signals Strong Holding Sentiment<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_159289\" style=\"width: 2009px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-159289\" class=\"wp-image-159289 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image2-2.png\" alt=\"Growing Scarcity Signals Strong Holding Sentiment\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1125\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-159289\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-159289 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image2-2.png\" alt=\"Growing Scarcity Signals Strong Holding Sentiment\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1125\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-159289\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: CryptoQuant<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A powerful bullish undercurrent is forming for Bitcoin; increasing scarcity of coins on exchanges makes it evident. According to CryptoQuant, the Bitcoin exchange reserve has plummeted to 2.3 million BTC, its lowest level in over seven years (since July 2018). This sustained outflow of coins from exchanges, consistent since mid-2024, suggests investors are prioritizing long-term holding over short-term selling, a dynamic that historically precedes significant upward price movements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_To_Expect\"\/><b>What To Expect<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The appearance of the gap immediately drew the attention of the trading community. This gap creates a clear downside risk, despite optimistic signals from on-chain data. Traders are now focused on two critical price zones: the <\/span><b>$109k \u2013 $111k<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> support area and the <\/span><b>$115k \u2013 $118k<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> resistance area to determine the next move.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, a larger gap in the <\/span><b>$116,500 to $118,400<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> region, which could act as a short-term resistance area as Bitcoin pushes toward new highs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Broader_Market_Context\"\/><b>Broader Market Context<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trading volume in the futures market remains high, and leverage is expanding. This suggests a highly active market but also one with potential risks of liquidation cascades if a sharp price movement occurs. The presence of the CME gap adds to the cautious sentiment among traders, who may be inclined to take profits and wait for a better entry point after a potential correction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If buyers can maintain control and hold prices above this support level, the broader uptrend for Q4 2025\u2014with expectations of a new all-time high\u2014remains the most likely scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_159288\" style=\"width: 1206px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-159288\" class=\"wp-image-159288 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image1-1.png\" alt=\"The Broader Market Context\" width=\"1196\" height=\"644\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-159288\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-159288 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image1-1.png\" alt=\"The Broader Market Context\" width=\"1196\" height=\"644\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-159288\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source:SoSoValue<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/bitcoin-faces-short-term-pullback-risk\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=bitcoin-faces-short-term-pullback-risk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin\u2019s strong upward momentum is facing a notable technical hurdle as a new price \u201cgap\u201d has appeared on the CME futures chart.
