BTC Futures (TradingView)
What to know:
- Bitcoin futures closed on Friday at $84,445 on the CME and reopened Sunday at $77,385, creating a notable price gap.
- CME gaps are closely monitored by traders and, while not guaranteed to fill, have historically been revisited more often than not over time.
As CME's futures market closed on Friday, the bitcoin BTC$77,863.55 derivatives were priced at $84,445 on the exchange. When trading resumed Sunday evening, they opened at $77,385 reflecting the largest cryptocurrency's spot-market slide to as low as $75,000 on Saturday. This price discrepancy created a gap in the CME bitcoin futures pricing.
A CME gap is the difference between the futures price at closing time and the price when the exchange next opens. Because, unlike spot BTC, the futures do not trade 24/7, significant price moves can occur during daily maintenance breaks or over weekends to produce the gaps.

These gaps are closely watched by traders. Historically, they tend to fill within days or weeks, though sometimes over a longer timeframe. While gap-filling is an observed tendency rather than a certainty, it seems to occur more often than not.
As of press time, spot bitcoin is trading around $77,800, while CME bitcoin futures are priced near $78,230. This places the futures roughly 7%-8% below Friday’s CME close.
CME bitcoin futures are cash settled contracts designed to track the price of the largest cryptocurrency. Trading pauses for an hour a day and remains closed over the weekend.

The post BullZilla, Shiba Inu, and Goatseus Maximus Take the Spotlight appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:15 Discover why BullZilla, Shiba Inu, and Goatseus Maximus rank among the best meme coin presales in September 2025. September 2025 has reignited interest in meme coins. While traditional altcoins focus on fundamentals, meme coins thrive on energy, community, and clever narratives. Among the best meme coin presales in September 2025, three stand out for their momentum and market impact: Bull Zilla, Shiba Inu, and Goatseus Maximus. Each offers a unique route for traders and students of finance alike, blending community-driven hype with structured tokenomics. BullZilla continues to command headlines with its presale math and massive ROI potential. Shiba Inu, the veteran of meme mania, still finds ways to reinvent itself. Goatseus Maximus, the fresh arrival, builds on humor and meme storytelling while aiming for short-term gains. Together, they define what meme coin culture looks like heading into Q4 2025. BullZilla: Presale Math Meets Meme Culture BullZilla is not just another viral project. It has crafted a presale model with baked-in returns that investors can map out before listings.

For anyone who missed Shiba Inu or Dogecoin’s breakout, this structure makes it easy to calculate possible gains. Beyond ROI, the presale’s branding of “Whale Signal Detected” during stage 3rd builds psychological urgency. It cleverly ties meme energy with professional-grade tokenomics. For these reasons,…
