According to Crypto Rover, the presence of a Bitcoin CME gap has been identified as of June 2, 2025 (source: Crypto Rover on Twitter). CME gaps, which occur when Bitcoin's price moves during the weekend when the Chicago Mercantile Exchange is closed, often serve as significant short-term trading indicators. Historically, these gaps are frequently filled, meaning Bitcoin's spot price may retrace to the gap level, impacting immediate trading decisions. Traders are monitoring this gap for potential entry and exit points, as gap fills can trigger volatility and liquidity shifts in both spot and derivatives markets (source: Crypto Rover on Twitter).

According to glassnode, the unwinding of the cash-and-carry trade is occurring as the long-side bias weakens, signaled by ETF outflows and CME futures closures. This shift in positioning is adding selling pressure to spot markets. ETFs, which possess lower liquidity compared to futures, may exacerbate short-term volatility.

According to AltcoinGordon, JPMorgan has indicated a potential correction in the crypto market, pointing to a decline in Bitcoin and Ethereum demand on the CME futures market. Additionally, institutional investors are taking profits, and key US crypto initiatives are delayed until the second half of 2025, which could extend the bull run.
