A CME gap occurs when the Chicago Merchantile Exchange closes on Friday and reopens on Monday, creating a price disparity between the two sessions. These gaps are significant because they represent areas of low liquidity where price can move rapidly. In crypto markets, CME gaps often get filled over time as traders seek to close their positions, making them important reference points for price analysis. Traders should watch these gaps as potential areas where price may reverse or continue moving, especially when combined with other technical indicators like open interest, volume, and funding rates.

BITCOIN HEATMAP!! IT'S A TRAP!!! DOUBLING MY $10,000,000 BITCOIN TRADEAdded:
Warning, there is another CME gap on Bitcoin. Coincidentally, at the very point of the highest peak range of liquidity, and I'm in the biggest short position of my life, $9 million short on Bitcoin. And I'm in a crazy profit. Can you guess the account balance? Because in 2 weeks, I have turned $2 million into considerably more than $2 million.
All just by watching the money flowing in and out of the market. But today is Friday, and that means tomorrow's Saturday, and that means it's time for another CME gap. And some of you might ask, what is a CME gap, Jordan? Well, there's an exchange. It's called the Chicago Merchantile Exchange. And on a Friday, that exchange closes, and on a Monday, that exchange opens. The price disparity between close on Friday and open on Monday is what causes a gap in price. A great example of a CME gap would be that is a Friday and that is a Monday. And between the two levels is a gap. It took forever for Bitcoin's price to come back into that range and close the gap, but it did. And of course, there's no guarantee that these gaps close, but throughout Bitcoin's history, pretty much every single one of them has. plotted out on this chart every single current open CE gap. That one got filled. There's one, two, and then three, and four. And there's actually five because there's one down at $3,000.
That maybe one day we fill it when Michael Sailor gets liquidated.
>> Blasphemy.
>> And considering he's now $1.6 billion in debt and the MNAV has dropped below one because everyone is terrified that they're going to print more shares. It actually looks like poppable. and they're not quite there yet, but it's getting there because all those debts that people took out on the bull run upwards. They're all coming due.
Meanwhile, this chart here is showing you volume during different trading sessions from February through to now.
And all you'll see about this chart is there's less volume. There's less interest. US PCE inflation reached a three-year high. And there's this dramatic expectation of the new Fed chair to not act in the best interest of the Fed and start printing loads of money. But if we look at the target probabilities for the next FOMC meeting, which is in 19 days time, we can see that there's a 98.9% chance of nothing changing. But you can change something.

But back to the market. Over $223 million got dumped out of Bitcoin ETFs yesterday. That makes 9 days straight now of Black Rockck dumping huge amount of money out of their Bitcoin ETF. And you'd be an idiot to not think that Black Rockck isn't shorting this. 100% Black Rockck will be shorting this. The thing is, the derivative market is about 20 times bigger than the spot market.
So, if you have a billion dollars of Bitcoin that you need to sell, you might cause the price of Bitcoin to go down 5%, which would mean that you've lost $50 million. But if you open billions of dollars of short positions and then you start dumping your spot, Bitcoin, and you call up the president and ask him to make a peace deal and then cancel it.
Maybe you even make a bet on Poly Market. But the point is, you've got control of the market. If you're a billionaire, you have control of the market right now in crypto. And wealthy Bitcoin holders will make a lot more money sending this chart downwards than what they would do buying into it and being exit liquidity for somebody else.
And bearing in mind, we've got CME gaps all the way down to $47,000.
And I've been plotting out this wickoff accumulation pattern for ages and we've been following it pretty much perfectly.
And that again takes us down to about $47,000 at this range. Something gives me the feeling that we're headed for a full sweep because when we check the Bitcoin historical volatility index, I was expecting this to rise up a lot more significantly today than what it has, but it just hasn't. We're expecting a massive rise up in the Bitcoin volatility index because the price is starting to get more volatile. And using the 2-year moving average multiplier tool, we can see that between the 6th of May 2022 and the 16th of October 2023, we spent the bulk of time below that line, which created us a huge green gap.
Now, if we go forward to present day and we zoom right in on this chart, we can see we've only been below this green line here since the 29th of January. And and so we've got a long way to go in this bare market yet. We also have the incredibly concerning news that again yesterday Bitcoin exchange balances rose and they rose more aggressively than usual. Meanwhile, at the same time, USDT exchange balances dropped and they dropped more aggressively than usual.
And even when we look at charts like this one, the Bitcoin hodddle wave. It's not necessarily an incredibly accurate and amazing indicator, but what it does do is a gauge on the market as to where we are within a bare market. And generally what you would expect is this is the amount of people that are holding Bitcoin plus one year. And in a bare market, it always increases significantly. In a bull market, people take profit. So bare market, bull market, bare market, bull market. And in this range here, we've not even started increasing this. Again, warning us we're so early in this bare market. Meanwhile, if we check back on the funding rates, of which this morning in the Chart Advantage Telegram group, I did a whole thing about funding rates and everything else like that. So much information in here. You're crazy not to join the group. It's completely free. But to compare this morning's rates, in this morning's race, I said, "Look, everything in the morning here, people seem to be buying the dip. Everything's returning back towards neutral." A few hours later here, you can see that everything is heading back towards green. And in this case, green doesn't mean good. Green means people are shorting. So, we need to check on the volume because the volume will confirm that theory. And this is the Bitcoin volume overview. A 26% drop in spot volumes overnight and a 25% drop in Bitcoin futures volumes. Essentially the same size of drop. But what is different about these is on futures people are more bearish and on spot people are slightly buying the dip right now. But the thing is, unless you get one of these big volume spiky candles and it's all buying, this means largely nothing because spot volume only accounts for 6.8 83% of the overall market. And also this morning, this percentage was much higher, indicating over the past couple of hours, people have kind of I'm not bullish anymore. I really don't think this is going to bounce. It's going to go down. That's kind of the mentality that we're seeing in the market. And so, let's check on the Bitcoin liquidation heat map. And we can see on the liquidation heat map, $75,000, $72,000. Big range of liquidation down here. Nice little shaded area underneath. And everyone's looking at that going, "That's so juicy. Surely we're just going to head straight into that. We're right next to it." And you can get all of your answers to these questions by just looking at higher time frames. So, we go over to the weekly and we discover that actually that shaded zone is only so bright because we're on such a low time frame. And in fact, this range below is actually way more attractive than the range currently above. And then everyone goes, well, but $78,000 is so much liquidation up there.
And that's true. And it might it could there is a small chance that that acts as a weakened magnet to the upside to close that CME gap at $79,000 before smashing us back down. But being realistic, the path of least resistance is downwards because the only reason that level is so yellow is because of all of the short accumulation that happened in this zone here. And so all of that is basically just a liquidation or a stop-loss level for people that entered short positions in this range.
And it will hit. It just probably won't hit before the downside. And the reason why is this chart, and I'll explain it in just a second, as well as looking at how much profit I'm in in my current open trades. But before we do that, we need to look at like what's going on in the crypto market because too much analysis these days doesn't include anything fundamental. Everyone just looks at lines on a screen and goes, "Oh, it'll bounce from that one to that one." But if you don't understand the logic behind the market, you're never going to be accurate for a long enough period of time to be consistent and profitable for the long term. Crypto trading firm Falcon X confidently files with the SEC for an IPO, hiring bankers.
And although they have filed, and the article by CoinDesk represents this in a super bullish way, they will last valued at $8 billion in 2022. It is expected that their current valuation is nowhere near that. And even they have said the Californiabased company's IPO is not expected to happen until the end of the year given market conditions. So the rich people there are telling us, yeah, it's not going to be good this year.
It's too volatile. And everything that I'm saying is kind of the bullishness period of time starts at the start of next year and until then we've got a pretty certain downtrend and the crypto industry is doing its best to defend the idea of a Bitcoin ETF. But there is a reason why Bitcoin ETFs are selling off and it's because they have to pay about 1% of the fees of the AUM. So if you have $und00 billion in a Bitcoin ETF, you pay $1 billion a year in fees to the person that bought all of that Bitcoin for you. Or you could just buy Bitcoin and not pay any fees to anybody. And outside of the crypto world, in the real world, Exxon Mobile is warning oil inventories are going to hit dangerously low levels in weeks and it's going to cause the price of oil to go up. None of this nonsense is going to stop. He likes spending money on war too much. People that bought in early into Trump's campaign are the only people benefiting out of all of this economy boost. Case in point, Trevor Milton, the guy that founded Nicola and did a whole bunch of fraud, has just been released because he donated a bunch of money to Donald Trump. And every weekend these guys, they come to a deal. They come to a peace deal, an arrangement, like literally every weekend. But I'm telling you now, there'll never be peace in the Middle East. There's no such thing as a ceasefire when these guys love firing guns so much. So now we've got some perspective on what's going on in the real world. I'm going to explain to you the Bitcoin open interest statistics and why we can read exactly Bitcoin's move from this chart. And I have explained this before that when this chart is rising at the bottom, that means that people are opening short positions if the price is also going down. What this chart is showing us the directional pressure of people's maker and taker positions. And what we're seeing at the moment is any longs that got placed down at the bottom of the range down here and now starting to get cashed out.
Liquidity right now is dropping back down again and price is also starting to fade and drop back down again. And so if we spot the aggregated open interest rising and we spot the price starting to fall again, the correct move is to short. And we can see in the past 24 hours the exact it's the same same amount of shorts as there has been longs. And when we go down to the 12 hours we can see that look people were trying to long and buy the dip. But then in the past 4 hours that sentiment is starting to evaporate again and slightly tip in favor of shorts. And then in the past hour or so, it's really starting to tip in the favor of shorts. And I still don't understand why. There's a sentiment indicator on coin glass and it's like super bullish. Why? It's been dumping all week. It's been dumping like for 2 weeks. As I'll show you in a second, I'm over a million dollars in profit. And yet this soding indicator keeps saying, "Oh, it's bullish." But that's because when you consolidate all of your data and you give it in a simple and easy to use tool, those kinds of things get read by people that don't understand how to trade. and it provides exit liquidity for people like myself that understand how to trade. So, with all that being said, what is the state of play right now? Well, I have an account balance of 3.122 million.
>> Wow, that's a lot of money. When I click on realize P&L, you can see I have realized a profit of $270,000.
And as it sits right now, I'm in a profit of $850,000, meaning that in 2 weeks, I'm up $1.12 million. Naturally, I don't want to give all of that back. I'm fine giving a bit of it back to the market, just trying to chance it and hope for lower, but I really don't want to give it all back to the market. I've watched a lot of good traders recently on the internet unable to get greed out of their mind and take profit when the price was high and go short. And I don't think I'm greedy when I say I think everyone that took a long position in this range is going to start suffering at some point when we come back down to this level of support down here, which is the peak range of liquidity at $68,000. I see so many people zooming in on this chart right now plotting out this current level here as a level of support but it's not support. The reason it's not support is it's not backed by any serious liquidity. I think of this as more of a stopoff on the way down. And although this is plotted as a cup and handle, I don't believe it is a cup and handle. I believe we're breaking down and I believe it's a fake cup and handle pattern. And actually that's more of a head and shoulders top pattern. But nothing speaks volumes like actually reading the volume and the open interest and understanding proper theory like the wickoff accumulation pattern and how long something like that takes to play out because I expect this whole bare market to basically take about 2 years.
And I have the bottom of the bare market somewhere near April 2027. And my wider wickoff accumulation pattern focuses on the fact that we have a lower low there about $4,000. We have a lower low here at about $16,000 in the previous bare market. And then we have another lower low sitting here at about $30,000. And yeah, sure, nobody thinks Bitcoin can get to $30,000 today, but I telling you now, it can. You got to think, why why would you invest in Bitcoin when you can invest in pretty much any AI stock and make 10% a week? And then when all of those AI stocks start returning back to reality because the price to earnings ratio, it makes literally no sense, a lot of people will lose a lot of money and that will cause a significant liquidity drain, further extending whatever bare market we're in. And you wouldn't know it, but this is a chart of the US printing money, but then the US is already printing. They're already doing it. This is the maximum time, and you can see they consistently print money. What Trump wants the new Fed chair to do is print way more money than what they should do, which would kick the can down the road and give the problem to the next president. That would be that would be an incredible problem. I just can't imagine how the world will fare if that was what we actually did because for short term in crypto it would be pretty amazing, but in the long term it would be horrendous.
And speaking of horrendous things, Jeff Bezos launched his rocket yesterday and it blew up. It went with a proper bang.
Jeff apologized on Twitter. And the White House dropped the ball yesterday and told us all that aliens exist and launched a new website, aliens.gov. But when I went on to the website, guess what they're talking about? Guess who the aliens are? Oh, it's all of the immigrants in America and it's a map of all of their arrests. Overall though, what would you do if you're me going into Friday? I'll be updating you of what I'm doing in the Chart Advantage Telegram group, which you should join.
The link is in the video description and it's free. But today, I'm really looking to increase the size of my short position if we could get up to the level of about $75,000.
I like $75,000 because it would be the previous high that previously then was support. We got shown it as support again recently and then we got rejected and dropped underneath it. So, it' be nice to get a rejection off of the level of resistance now. And a rejection of $75,000. Hopefully, that would bring us back down to $68,000. But only time will tell and I'll keep you up to date in the Telegram. Join it. Link in the video description. Make sure you press the like button on this video if you haven't already and make sure you turn on channel notifications because we we keep doing it. We keep over and over again.
Everything has been going great. I appreciate all of you watching. I appreciate everyone leaving a comment.
Check out Yubi. You'll find a link for it in the video description. It's a great exchange platform. There's a bunch more links down there that you'll find even more useful. And I'll see you in a bit. Ch.
