CME Gap Filling Market Review

Yesterday, I noticed that the CME gap has basically been filled. Weak markets are like this; what needs to come back will come back, nothing surprising about that.

Looking at specific cryptocurrencies, BTC's performance was in line with expectations. On Monday, I was observing whether it could be partially filled, and by Thursday, the gap was indeed filled. The rhythm is quite interesting; friends looking to bottom fish should have a chance to jump in. The overall market is still decent, and I also followed along.

ETH doesn't have much independent momentum and mostly follows the leader. SOL's situation is similar, also dependent on the main cryptocurrencies' performance. However, the on-chain ecosystem has shown some activity recently, which is worth paying more attention to.

There are also some promising policy developments. The US regulatory authorities are fully controlled by the Republican Party, and it is expected that by 2026, more crypto-friendly policies will be promoted, which will definitely be a positive for the entire ecosystem.

Additionally, a former Brazilian central bank official has launched a new high-yield stablecoin BRD, pegged to the Brazilian Real. With so many people worldwide entering the stablecoin space, it clearly indicates that this is indeed a good business. So, will positive catalysts follow next?

ETH-0,41%

Filling the gap is indeed interesting this time; the window for bottom-fishing isn't long. BTC's rhythm is very steady; coins following the big brother's pace really have no complaints. The Republican Party coming into power is a policy positive, and the stablecoin track is gaining momentum again. It feels like we're just waiting for a catalyst. ETH is still following the trend. When will it have its own breakout? Friends who are bottom-fishing should have a chance this time. I’ve also jumped in. The weak market just keeps fluctuating. The SOL ecosystem has recently shown some activity; we need to keep a close eye on it. High-yield stablecoins are all competing now; it's really a good business. Once the gap is filled, we're just waiting for a rebound. It's that simple. Following BTC is the right move, just a bit boring. The stablecoin track is booming; everyone around the world is laying out plans.

Just fill the gap, anyway it will go back up after falling. If you missed this wave, try again next time.

Fill the gap if you can; the bottom area is just this big, and fluctuations back and forth are perfectly normal. There are indeed opportunities to catch the bottom, but it depends on who can catch it accurately... I followed a wave, just idle funds anyway. ETH and SOL are now just playing the role of laggards; they still depend on BTC's direction to determine their moves. The Republican Party gaining power is indeed a positive signal, but we have to wait until 2026. For now, don't think too much about it. Stablecoins are quite competitive in this market, but how many are truly profitable? I'm actually more interested in the developments within the on-chain ecosystem.

The gap has been filled, so those who want to buy the dip should go ahead; this wave indeed has some opportunities. ETH is still riding on BTC's leftovers, which is a bit boring. The Republican Party coming into power is indeed friendly to the crypto circle, but don't celebrate too early. Stablecoins are really hot right now, and BRD is jumping in again. The SOL ecosystem has been showing some activity lately; we need to keep a close watch. This round of the market looks pretty good, and I've also jumped on board. In a weak market, pullbacks are normal, no surprises.

The gap-filling theory has been talked about quite a bit; can it really be so regular? The window for BTC bottoming out has probably passed; it feels a bit late to get in now. ETH following the trend, when can it stand on its own? Stablecoins are really hot this time, but it feels a bit overheated. Policy favorable news sounds great, but we need to wait and see the actual implementation. Is there any movement in the SOL ecosystem? Keep a close eye on it, don’t become just another tool for cutting leeks. Listening to the gap theory is fine, but don’t take it too seriously. This is indeed how a bear market looks, but when will the bull market come? It’s still early for 2026; for now, just focus on surviving. BRD stablecoin? Another me-too project, probably.

Just fill the gap, anyway the chives still need to be harvested. There is indeed an opportunity to bottom fish, but who dares to do it in this wave? BTC's rhythm is really interesting, ETH just follows along with no real excitement. Stablecoin business is booming, but this thing feels endless. Policy benefits are here, so why is the market still like this? What are you following? Anyway, it will all pull back. Is there any movement on the SOL chain? I haven't noticed anything. Another stablecoin project has emerged, it really just never has enough money.

The logic of filling the gap has long been calculated by me; it's just a process of reconfiguring capital efficiency, no suspense. BTC's recent rhythm is indeed efficient. From Monday to Thursday, during the gap-filling window, if you include counterparty costs, the arbitrage space has actually been fully exploited. What’s the small movement on the SOL chain? Help me list some data. How much percentage has the TVL increased? Just saying there's movement isn't on-chain evidence. Stablecoin business is indeed highly profitable, but how is the high yield of BRD calculated? Is the fee model transparent or not? That’s the core issue. The expectations for the close policy in 2026 are too early to tell; data will speak for itself.

The gap has been filled; the money that should be lost still needs to be lost. The laws of the universe, you know. Brothers bottom-fishing, I wish everyone to get on the bus smiling and get off crying. BTC is like this—tossing you around on Mondays and Thursdays, your principal has long been gone. The stablecoin track is so hot, it shows everyone wants to lose money steadily. Policy benefits in 2026? Buddy, let's see if we can survive 2024 first. ETH is just passing time with BTC; I also followed along. It feels pretty good to run together. There’s movement on the SOL chain, but my wallet is still quiet—that’s the current situation. With the Republicans in control, is it time for them to start giving us subsidies? Looking at this rhythm, we’re about to be harvested again this week—it's our old profession.
