Bitcoin trades every minute of every day, but CME Bitcoin futures stop for the weekend. That mismatch is how a CME gap is born, and why it keeps turning up in the middle of the most stressful weeks.
A CME gap is the blank space on a CME futures chart between Friday’s final traded level and the first traded level when the market reopens Sunday evening (US time). CME futures trade on a weekly...
Bitcoin keeps knocking on $71,500, sooner or later the door opens
Bitcoin made a familiar but stressful move this week; it bounced hard enough to make the skeptics quiet and the dip buyers loud again.
After the crash down to around $60,000, the price clawed its way back to the a spot that has become the center of gravity, the $71,500 zone.
It has already been there three times.
Each time, the...
Bitcoin’s slide through $65,000 and toward $60,000 felt like a stress test the market had been postponing. The move was sharp enough to force a reset in positioning, and broad enough to pull the conversation away from single-catalyst explanations.
Even mainstream media described the week as Bitcoin’s worst weekly performance since late 2022, with price briefly testing the $60,000 area before...
The following is a guest post and analysis from Vincent Maliepaard, Marketing Director at Sentora.
A year ago, tokenized equities barely registered as an asset class. Today, the market is approaching $1 billion—a nearly 30x increase—and December 2025 may have delivered the regulatory clarity needed for institutional adoption to accelerate.
What changed? Three things: a small group of platforms...
The crypto market that surged on Donald Trump’s campaign promise of a friendlier US posture is now back near where it started, after an 18-month round trip that added close to $2 trillion in value and then erased roughly the same amount.
Data compiled by CryptoSlate put the total crypto market value at about $2.4 trillion in October 2024, weeks before the US election.
By November 2024, the market...
Bitcoin’s hard cap is easy to understand: there will only ever be 21 million coins.
What's hard to understand is that the marginal market is allowed to trade far more than 21 million coins worth of exposure, because most of that exposure is synthetic and cash-settled, and it can be created or reduced in seconds.
That distinction has become Bitcoin's core paradox in the past year or so.
Scarcity...
Trader Plan C recently surfaced a chart indicating a production-cost model placing Bitcoin's marginal mining expense at approximately $67,000, with historical price action showing repeated bounces off that red line.
He added that “commodities rarely trade below their cost of production.” The hook is clean, the logic is intuitive, but the reality beneath Bitcoin's latest volatility is messier and...
Bitcoin ripped from $60,000 to above $70,000 in less than 24 hours, erasing most of a brutal 14% drawdown that had tested every bottom-calling thesis in the market.
The speed of the reversal, 12% in a single session and 17% off the intraday low, was violent enough to feel like a capitulation resolved. Yet, the mechanics beneath the bounce tell a different story: this was cross-asset stabilization...
Bitcoin experienced a steep decline over the last 24 hours, pushing its price to approximately $60,000 amid an accelerated selloff comparable to the 2022 FTX collapse.
BTC had recovered to $69,800 as of press time, according to CryptoSlate data.
Still, Glassnode data helped frame the extent to which the price had slipped relative to widely watched on-chain reference points.
With the spot price...
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and other prominent “whales” have offloaded millions of dollars in ETH since the beginning of February, adding narrative fuel to a market rout that saw the world's second-largest cryptocurrency tumble below $2,000.
While the high-profile sales by Buterin served as a psychological trigger for retail panic, a closer examination of market data suggests that the...
