CME Gaps explained - Sunday night suckers

CME:BTC1!   Bitcoin CME Futures
I've been exploring CME Gaps for sometime. Here in this chart I go through several of the most outstanding gaps left in the BTC market.

Tonight was a wonderful example of how CME Gaps can lead you astray. Generally speaking, CME Gaps are filled relatively quickly, and or the gap price hovers closely over the weekend, so the fill almost goes unnoticed.

This weekend however, went differently (so far), but not so differently if you look into the past. There is in general gap theory on all charts, but BTC holds many peoples close attention. The last time the CME gap was this large, it slowly but surely filled that gap methodically. Once market makers saw this opportunity (imo), there was an explosive run away gap scenario to take advantage of. Many retail traders observed an opportunity to short once CME began trading again, this is generally not a poor strategy. However, other market makers saw an opportunity to grab liquidity, and they have thus far.

Which other major CME Gap will fill first $49K or $23K? Or alternatively, fill the newly existing CME Gap and remain range bound for another month or so?
