The recent performance of Bitcoin has introduced a new $63K futures gap as the cryptocurrency touched new highs in May, fueled by positive U.S. employment data. This uptick has created a divergence from the CME Group's closing prices, signaling a futures gap that historically Bitcoin tends to fill. Despite a 5% increase month-to-date, contrasting sharply with April’s 15% loss, market participants are cautious.
Analysts are concerned about the overall market strength in the absence of traditional financial (TradFi) market activities. The thin liquidity noted in the market's order books could lead to price volatility, with potential downward corrections if not managed carefully. Traders like Daan Crypto and Keith Alan emphasize the need for increased bid liquidity to sustain the rally. Meanwhile, Credible Crypto suggests that current conditions may favor short positions unless Bitcoin can maintain the momentum above critical resistance levels.
