BTC price gains over 7% in two days<\/h2>\n

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC\/USD spiking to $27,200 on Bitstamp.<\/p>\n

Its highest in several days, the performance reflected gains of around 7.5% versus local lows from the week\u2019s final Wall Street trading session.<\/p>\n

\u201cStrong movements on Bitcoin as it swept all the lows in recent moves and grinds back up to $27.2K,\u201d an optimistic Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe, founder and CEO of trading firm Eight, reacted<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cPatience, as flipping $27.2K is the first serious trigger for continuation upwards. In that case, close to a temporary bottom & potentially new highs to $36-42K still possible.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Popular trader Daan Crypto Trades noted that there was now potential for a \u201cgap\u201d in CME Bitcoin futures markets to appear at the May 15 open.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf BTC holds at current prices, it will open up with a CME gap tomorrow. These gaps to tend to get filled, especially during a ranging environment,\u201d he told<\/a> Twitter followers. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s good to note how during strong trends (up and down), these gaps are more likely to be left open.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Earlier in the weekend, Cointelegraph reported on the general cautious tone being adopted by market participants, with Van de Poppe among those demanding for bullish reclaiming of levels around $27,000 before considering long positions.<\/p>\n

In an update on the current state of the Binance order book, meanwhile, monitoring resource Material Indicators noted liquidity moving around, along with bid liquidity at $25,400 thinning by around $17 million.<\/p>\n

In analysis on the day, he warned that a close at $27,550 or under would place BTC price at risk of further losses.<\/p>\n
