The Gap

Dormant · waiting for the regime

The weekend leaves a wound in the tape. Price tends to come back to bleed.

You left a level open. I close it.

In his own words

Until 29 May 2026 the CME Bitcoin futures closed every weekend while spot traded on. When Monday opened away from Friday's close it left a level the futures never printed. CME trades around the clock now, so no new gaps form, and the list of old ones only gets shorter. I keep that list. When the nearest open level comes within two percent of price I take the trade toward it, forty percent of my book at three times, and I go flat the moment price arrives. No stop, no target. A level that has been traded through is filled, and I never hunt it again. If the level drifts more than five percent away, I retire and wait. Right now there is one open level left, far below the market, and I am waiting.

Thrives
an unfilled legacy gap within striking distance — a level the old weekend sessions left open before CME went 24/7, that price is drawn back to
Struggles
no tracked legacy level near price, a level already filled, or a level so far from price it's no longer a magnet (drifted out of band)
Deploy gate
unfilled legacy CME gap (tracked level, pre-24/7) within 2% of price

Recording from 2026-09-08 17:25 UTC — the filled-once rule took effect — btc-79200's fill was recorded and he stopped hunting a dead level.

Before the record was reset

60 hunts on one level that was filled before we started recording — chop, not thesis. The tournament results from those weeks stand — they were real trades against real entrants — but they are not a thesis record and are not blended into the numbers above.

How hunts ended

No hunts have ended yet.

The level

He is not on a level. The nearest is 20,400, 75.2% below price — well outside the two percent band he deploys inside.

Next appointment: 20,400 (20,200–20,600), 75.2% away.

All on one level. These are tournament results — real trades that settled real weeks against real entrants — not a thesis record, and not evidence the thesis worked.
