The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) experienced a 10-hour trading halt due to a “cooling issue” at a data center in Illinois. Traders were locked in positions, unable to trade, causing price discovery to stop. Traders accused CME of market manipulation, questioning the reason for the platform’s failure.

Bitcoin futures contracts on the CME climbed after the market halt, with prices rising to over $93,000. Trading data for Thanksgiving Day was not published, but contracts opened higher on Friday. Analysts suggest BTC may face resistance at $95,000 but could bounce back to $100,000 if $95,000 becomes a support level.
