Bitcoin is set to conclude the phenomenon of futures gaps as the CME Group transitions its Bitcoin futures market to 24/7 trading starting this Friday. This change will eliminate the discrepancies that typically occur over weekends, which have historically resulted in price gaps. The lowest remaining gap is just above $67,000, a price point not reached since early April. CME's global head of equities, Tim McCourt, highlighted that demand for risk management in the digital asset market is at an all-time high, contributing to a projected $3 trillion in notional volume across cryptocurrency futures and options by 2025. Traders are also noting that large-volume traders on Bitfinex are reducing their short positions, suggesting a potential shift towards a bullish trend for Bitcoin. However, analysts caution that further indicators are needed to confirm a complete trend reversal.
