Bitcoin's recent rally deserves a closer look. Over the past week, BTC surged from $87k (yearly open) to $94k today - quite the move. What's interesting is the CME gap structure: there are gaps sitting at $88k and in the $90-91k range that could act as price magnets before we make a push toward $100k.

Market makers typically have several plays available in these scenarios. The path to six figures won't be straightforward - gaps get filled, support levels get tested. Whether we see a dip to tag those CME levels or push straight through depends on several factors in play right now. Either way, the $100k level is clearly in the crosshairs.

I've heard the CME gap explanation so many times, it's basically just fill or not fill, as if nothing was said... But ten thousand dollars is definitely a psychological threshold; let's see who can't hold on first.

CME gap has been a theory for so many years, will it really follow the script? I actually think some people just rely on this to harvest profits.

Uh... talking about CME gaps again? Feels like every time I hear this, but the coins still end up doing their own thing.

100k is just a psychological threshold; it doesn't seem so easy to break through.

The medical records show that the clinical performance behind this wave of increase is actually quite ordinary—everyone is now talking about the gap theory, but where are the actionable details? The 88k and 90-91k levels are like two time bombs; the question is who will step on them.

At the 100k level, the market players will definitely cause trouble again, filling the gap, breaking support, who knows what will happen.

100k still depends on how the whales play; that gap at 88k feels uncertain.

About the gap thing, I've heard it so many times my ears are calloused... Can it really be filled? Or are they just trying to fool us into buying the dip again?

Bro, I'm tired of hearing about the CME gap theory. It's just an excuse for the whales to harvest the retail investors.
