- BTC dips to $107,460 amid CME futures gap.
- $107K support critical; breakdown could test $100K–$95K.
- Low volume rebound signals caution for short-term traders.
Bitcoin (BTC) is navigating a critical juncture as the market tests support near $107,000. After failing to sustain an early-week rebound, BTC/USD dipped to $107,460 on Bitstamp, down roughly 2.5% on the day. Traders are closely watching the latest CME Group Bitcoin futures gap, a recurring market pattern that often dictates short-term price movements.
Understanding the CME Futures Gap
CME Bitcoin futures gaps occur when futures close at one price on Friday and open at a different level after the weekend. These gaps frequently attract attention because markets tend to “fill” them, meaning the price moves back to the gap range within days or hours.
Analyst Daan Crypto Trades noted, “Price did come down to close some of it, but there’s still a bit left. It’s good to keep that in mind if price trades close to it.” Last week, BTC successfully closed a larger gap at $110,000, signaling temporary bullish momentum before facing renewed selling pressure.
$BTC Opened with a small CME gap below this week. Price did come down to close some of it, but there's still a bit left. So good to keep that in mind if price were to trade close to it.

Support Levels Under Pressure
Bitcoin’s short-term support around $107,000 is critical. If prices fail to hold, traders warn of a potential slide toward the $100,000 psychological level. Roman, a crypto analyst, pointed to low trading volume during Monday’s rebound, suggesting the move lacked strength: “100-98K here we come!”
$BTC Held the green box where it should have. Also trading back above the Daily 200MA & EMA.

The bulls would want to hold $107K going forward. If this were to start grinding back down, and get close to last Friday's wick, then that'd just show a lot of weakness to me.… https://t.co/1VGX8oa6zH pic.twitter.com/9imvy9E0C4
Other traders echo this caution. Crypto Tony and Ted Pillows highlighted the possibility of BTC testing $100,000, with a further dip to $95,000 if market weakness persists. This outlook reflects the delicate balance between short-term retracement and broader bullish trends.
Market Outlook and Key Takeaways
While CME futures gaps offer traders guidance on short-term price action, the overall BTC trend remains susceptible to volatility. A sustained move above $107,000 could stabilize the market, whereas a breakdown below $100,000 would signal deeper corrections.
