What to know:
- Crypto and AI-linked equities are rallying in pre-market trading as bullish sentiment builds across digital assets, as odds rise that a U.S. government shutdown will finish in days.
- Despite the momentum, a CME futures gap around $104,170 could pull bitcoin lower before the next leg higher.
According to Velo data, Mondays have averaged negative returns over the past month. However, this Monday started in the green as bitcoin climbed above $106,000, reclaiming a key technical level the 365-day moving average, which has acted as an important long-term support throughout this cycle. That moving average currently sits near $102,444.
However, a small Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) gap has formed around $104,170 from weekend trading. A CME gap occurs when bitcoin’s price on CME futures opens higher or lower than where it closed the previous session, typically over the weekend when CME markets are closed.

Historically, these gaps often get “filled” as price action revisits those levels, suggesting a short-term downside target, though the broader narrative has shifted bullish amid expectations that the U.S. government shutdown could end as early as this week.
