Over the past week, Bitcoin has declined by 14.6%, with its price dropping an additional 4.4% in the last 24 hours. As of today, Bitcoin is trading at $79,766, pushing it nearly 27% below its ATH.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Amid this price performance, CryptoQuant analyst ibrahimcosar has closely <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoquant.com\/insights\/quicktake\/67ce2a68a9545929ecc14ee9-Bitcoin-CME-Gap-Is-90K-the-Next-Target\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">examined<\/a> Bitcoin\u2019s price movements, focusing on the CME gap phenomenon, which has historically played a role in Bitcoin\u2019s short-term fluctuations.<\/p>\n<h2 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">What To Expect From Bitcoin Based On CME Gap<\/h2>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">In his latest analysis, Ibrahim highlighted how BTC opened at $82,110 on the CME, creating a gap up to the $86K level. According to him, this price gap could provide clues about Bitcoin\u2019s next move, potentially leading to a short-term attempt at reclaiming $86K\u2013$90K in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/img.cryptoquant.com\/442200\/quicktake\/9LljuX3Ro_ea7ea53b403ef89f91602feb938a9cb24e27a03b10efa6bb3ff3a7d52adb6134.png?resize=1280%2C692&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Bitcoin CME gap\" width=\"1280\" height=\"692\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">The CME gap refers to the difference between BTC\u2019s closing price on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) before the weekend and its opening price after the weekend.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">These gaps often get filled as BTC&#8217;s price moves back to the levels where the trading pause occurred. Ibrahim notes that Bitcoin previously formed a $10,000 gap on February 28, which was quickly filled within 19 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Now, with BTC currently trading around $79K\u2013$80K, the analyst suggests that another gap has formed above the current price range, indicating that Bitcoin may attempt to fill the $86K\u2013$90K region within the next one to two days.<\/p>\n<p>However, he cautions that this does not necessarily signal a full reversal in BTC\u2019s downtrend. Instead, he maintains that Bitcoin\u2019s broader trend remains uncertain, and its price action through March and early April will be key in determining whether a stronger recovery is on the horizon.<\/p>\n<h2 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Key Support Levels and Market Sentiment<\/h2>\n<p>Another market analyst, ShayanBTC, has pointed to $83,000 as a critical support level, based on Bitcoin\u2019s interaction with the Realized Price of 3-6 Month UTXOs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/img.cryptoquant.com\/200133\/quicktake\/mFrbe4mIg_0c97d47c11d9ce31352352b89c80916134dc9b5018aef90a6abc137351ae2f72.png?resize=1280%2C720&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Bitcoin Realized Price UTXOs Age Bands.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This metric tracks the average acquisition price of mid-term holders and has historically acted as a significant support or resistance zone. Shayan disclosed that BTC recently tested this level, and holding above it could signal strong investor confidence, potentially reinforcing bullish sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>However, Bitcoin\u2019s decline below $80,000 suggests that this $83,000 support level has already been breached. If Bitcoin fails to regain ground above this threshold, market sentiment could shift towards fear, leading to increased selling pressure from mid-term holders.<\/p>\n<p>In this scenario, BTC could enter a distribution phase, where short to mid-term investors sell their holdings, further driving the price downward. Ibrahim has identified the $78,000\u2013$80,000 region as the next key support zone, which may determine BTC\u2019s near-term trajectory.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/vdoGXhoi\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin (BTC) price chart on TradingView\" width=\"3250\" height=\"1794\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Featured image created with DALL-E, Chart from TradingView<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin\u2019s price has continued its downward trend, struggling to regain momentum after reaching its all-time high of $109,000 in January.
