Bitcoin’s current CME gap between $78,000 and $80,700 was formed in early November 2024, when the cryptocurrency experienced a sharp price breakout above resistance.

The analyst revealed that after hitting a peak above $100,000, Bitcoin quickly retraced, experiencing a deep correction that pushed it down to its current price of $79,267. Rekt Capital points out that Bitcoin’s recent decline aligns with historical fractals where CME gaps get filledbefore its price finds a new direction. 

According to his chart analysis, if Bitcoin continues on its current downward trajectory, the price range between $78,000 and $80,000 will need to be closely monitored. Holding this range would signal a potential reversal and renewed bullish momentum. However, a failure to maintain support could clear to further declines, with the next major support levels around $71,535 and $60,590.

Other market analysts share a similar sentiment. Crypto VIP Signal on X has projecteda decline towards the $72,000 – $74,000 support area should Bitcoin fail to maintain the CME gap price level. The analyst highlights that this gap range is BTC’s last chance for a price bounceas the market looks increasingly bearish. BTC Enters Oversold Levels For The First Time Since 2024

Considering the current declined state of the market, this new discovery is seen as a positive signal. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealedthat in 2024, when Bitcoin reached similar oversold levels, it led to a massive 33% price surge. This implies that if historical trends were to repeat, BTC could also initiate a strong price rallyto the upside.
