CME Group launched the cash-settled Bitcoin futures during the peak of Bitcoin price in December 2017, where one CME contract involves five BTC.

Currently, there are two gaps present at $8,540 that occurred during the bullish break-out last weekend and then at $8,935 earlier this week during the closing hours on CME.
