Bitcoin has slipped below the $90K mark, officially closing the first CME gap on the futures chart. The question now circulating among traders: will we see a further dip to fill the next gap around $88K?
This price action matters because CME gaps—the difference between close and open prices in futures markets—often get "filled" as the market seeks equilibrium. With Bitcoin testing these lower levels, market participants are monitoring whether the correction finds support at the secondary gap zone or pushes deeper.
The technical setup suggests traders should watch these key price levels closely. A move toward $88K would complete another gap-fill pattern, potentially signaling where the next consolidation zone might emerge.

The gap has been filled, now we're just waiting for the 88K move, but it seems like it could still continue to fall.

If you can't hold 88K, just break through to the bottom directly; anyway, you'll have to fill it sooner or later.

88k is coming again. This time, we really have to hold steady, or else it will keep dropping endlessly...

ngl the gap-fill narrative is just paper hands cope at this point. everybody sees $88k coming so obviously it won't happen there lol
