CME Bitcoin March futures opened at $95,000 today, creating a sizable $9,000+ gap from Friday’s session high.
Bitcoin’s spot price surged 9.5% on Sunday, climbing from approximately $84,100 to over $94,000. The rally was triggered by President Donald Trump’s announcement that BTC, along with ETH, XRP, SOL, and ADA, would be included in the U.S. strategic crypto reserve.
This led to a significant gap-up opening for CME’s March futures contract, with TradingView and CME data confirming a $95,000 open—$9,280 above Friday’s peak of $85,720.
Futures market gaps indicate a sudden shift in sentiment and often occur when strong buying or selling pressure overwhelms liquidity. In this case, the bullish momentum follows last week’s downturn, suggesting a reversal in market direction.
Historically, unfilled gaps tend to attract price retracements as traders aim to restore market balance. Last week’s drop below $80,000, for instance, filled a gap that had remained open since November.
With a fresh gap now established between $84,000 and $94,000, traders may anticipate a possible price correction before BTC continues its upward movement.
