I think the CME gap is giving Bitcoin bulls a new sign of hope. Looking at the recent price difference between CME futures and the spot market, the movement of institutional investors is showing quite an interesting pattern.
Usually, CME gaps occur when institutions sense something, but the reason this difference is interpreted as a positive signal is because the futures positioning is leaning bullish. When there are many bears, the CME gap tends to widen in the negative direction, but right now, the opposite situation is unfolding.
Of course, this isn't a 100% certain signal, but it often serves as a good indicator of the direction institutional funds are moving. Paying close attention to the CME gap can be one way to predict the market's next move.
