Levels are Binance spot BTCUSDT at CME's session times; CME futures trade at a premium or discount to spot (see /futures-term-structure), so real CME gaps differ slightly. CME holiday sessions are not modelled. CME crypto futures began 24/7 trading on 29 May 2026 at 16:00 Chicago time, with weekly maintenance. Only weekends beginning before that date are historical shutdown-gap estimates; older gaps continue to be checked for fills using later prices. Maintenance gaps are not modelled. CME implementation notice. Gaps under 0.1% show as no gap. A gap is filled on the first UTC day after the reopen whose low and high span the Friday level. History, not a forecast; not financial advice.
Bitcoin CME gap FAQ
What is a CME gap?
Before 29 May 2026, CME's Bitcoin and Ether futures stopped from Friday 16:00 to Sunday 17:00 Chicago time, while spot crypto kept trading. A price move across that shutdown could leave a gap between Friday's close and Sunday's open. CME crypto futures began 24/7 trading on 29 May 2026 at 16:00 Chicago time, with weekly maintenance. Only weekends beginning before that date are historical shutdown-gap estimates; older gaps continue to be checked for fills using later prices. Maintenance gaps are not modelled.
Do CME gaps always fill?
No. Most do, many within days, but some stay open for months or never fill. A gap counts as filled here on the first UTC day after the reopen whose daily low and high span the Friday level. Since 4 Jan 2019, 97% of Bitcoin's 374 estimated gaps filled and 13 are still open. Past fill rates are not a forecast.
