Bitcoin\u2019s price has continued its downward trend, struggling to regain momentum after reaching its all-time high of $109,000 in January. Over the past week, Bitcoin has declined by 14.6%, with its price dropping<\/a> 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

Amid this price performance, CryptoQuant analyst ibrahimcosar has closely 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

What To Expect From Bitcoin Based On CME Gap<\/h2>\n

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

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These gaps often get filled as BTC\u2019s 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

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

However, he cautions that this does not necessarily signal a full reversal in BTC\u2019s downtrend. Instead, he maintains that Bitcoin\u2019s broader trend<\/a> 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

Key Support Levels and Market Sentiment<\/h2>\n

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

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

However, Bitcoin\u2019s decline below $80,000<\/a> 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<\/a>, leading to increased selling pressure from mid-term holders.<\/p>\n

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
