“Rangeplay” for BTC after CME gap fill

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD dipping to $32,967 on Bitstamp prior to the Wall Street open Monday.

That level represented the start of a CME futures gap left over from July 2021, Bitcoin “filling” it almost to the dollar before reversing upwards to add over $1,000 in minutes.

With volatility clearly in the air, expectations were running high for the start of trading on United States equities markets.

“Now, Bitcoin will fight $34.1-34.4K. If that reclaims, potential test at $38K possible,” Cointelegraph contributor Michaël van de Poppe សង្ខេប to Twitter followers, noting the CME gap closure.

“Rangeplay at this point.”

At the time of writing, BTC/USD traded just below $34,000, with aroud an hour and a hal until the U.S. open.

Even beating the 2018 bear market bottom, when Bitcoin reached $3,100 after a drawdown of over 80%, current resolve among long-term investors was thus palpable.
