Bitcoin (BTC) is steadily approaching the highly anticipated Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME)gap close, with price action aligning with analyst’s expectations of a move toward $83,000. As Bitcoin corrects from recent highs, a crypto analyst expects a rebound to come next. However, if key support fails, the possibility of further downside remains.  Bitcoin To Drop To CME Gap Close


Bitcoin has been on a rollercoaster this year, skyrocketing to new ATHsand experiencing major price breakdowns that pushed it to new lows. Recently the cryptocurrency saw a surge toward $89,000 but faced a rejection. Now the top crypto is pulling back again, with crypto analyst Astronomer on X (formerly Twitter) pinpointingthe $83,000 – $84,000 low range as its next critical support level.  Related Reading Bitcoin And Ethereum Face $14 Billion Options Expiry—Market Impact Ahead? 18 hours ago


This crucial support zone in the price chart aligns with the CME gap close, a common phenomenon in the BTC Futures market. BTC revisits price gaps left when the CME price closes over the weekend and opens on Sundays.  



Astronomer has outlined his long-term trading plan for Bitcoin, expecting the cryptocurrency to consolidate around the support level before bouncing. He believes that the CME gap close is a significant technical development that could determine Bitcoin’s price movements.  BTC is now trading at $82,575. Chart: TradingView


Supporting the expectations of a short-term pullback, historically, a bearish close on Friday often leads to red Mondays or Tuesdays for Bitcoin. Moreover, the analyst highlights that the market is still in the pre-New York Open (NYO) phase, leaving room for an intraday reversal. 


However, he anticipates a late-night drop during the NYO trading session due to the lack of liquidationsand untested support levels. He also mentions that combined with these factors, Bitcoin’s recent pullback from $89,000 is a strong indication that its price may not be bullish locally. 


Based on his Bitcoin price chart, Astronomer considers the $81,400 – $82,400 range the worst-case support zone. Bitcoin is expected to revisit this target zone before any attempt at a potential reversal.  Can Bitcoin Rebound? Take Profit Levels To Watch 


While Bitcoin’s short-term price action appears bearish, its macro trend remains somewhat stable, according to Astronomer’s analysis. The analyst has marked a “long entry” zone in the chart, suggesting that the $83,000 – $84,000 zone was a potential buying opportunityif Bitcoin finds support there.  Related Reading Pi Coin Sinks 47% In 14 Days—What’s Behind The Massive Drop? 1 day ago


The analyst predicts that if Bitcoin can successfully hold the CME gap close, a bounce toward the weekly open price at $86,000 could be its first step toward a much-anticipated recovery. Beyond this, the analyst has pinpointed key take profit levelsmarked from TP1 – TP4 on the price chart. These levels suggest that Bitcoin could surge higher to reach a target of $87,000 – $88,000. 


However, a break below the worst-case support zone could trigger a bearish shift in sentiment,potentially leading to a deeper price correction for Bitcoin.
