About
What is the Bitcoin 16:00 Fix?
The Bitcoin 16:00 Fix is the daily reference price set during the fixing window at 16:00 New York time. It is the benchmark used by CME Group to settle Bitcoin futures and by major ETF issuers to calculate the Net Asset Value (NAV) of spot Bitcoin ETFs. Because of this, the fix acts as a global institutional anchor for positioning, options strikes, and risk management.
How this analyzer works
The tool retrieves the previous day's 16:00 New York fixing and derives a set of trading levels at ±0.25%, ±0.50%, ±0.75%, and ±1.00% around it. These derived strikes represent the zones where options positioning and institutional order flow tend to cluster, offering potential support and resistance for short-term trading.
Understanding the metrics
- Average · 24h: the mean price of Bitcoin over the last 24 hours.
- Difference from Fix: how far the current spot price is from the previous day's 16:00 NY fix.
- Range · 24h: the difference between the highest and lowest price over the last 24 hours.
Why the previous day's fix matters
The previous day's fix serves as the anchor for the entire current session. Options dealers hedge around strikes derived from it; ETF issuers reconcile flows against it; institutional desks reference it as a "fair value" print. This makes the fix a powerful, slow-moving magnet that price often oscillates around until the next fixing window.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Bitcoin 16:00 Fix?
The Bitcoin 16:00 Fix is the daily reference price determined during the fixing window that ends at 16:00 New York time. It is published by the CME Group and used as the settlement benchmark for Bitcoin futures and by ETF issuers to compute the NAV of their spot Bitcoin products.
Why do you use the previous day's fix?
The most recent closed fixing window is the previous day's 16:00 NY fix. Using it as an anchor lets you compare today's live price against an already-settled, institutionally recognised reference — which is exactly how dealers, ETF desks and options market makers structure their positioning.
How are the trading levels calculated?
Each level is a simple percentage offset from the previous day's fix: ±0.25%, ±0.50%, ±0.75%, ±1.00%. The FIX row is the anchor itself. Levels already touched by the live spot price are highlighted in amber.
What does the Daily Delta chart show?
The Delta chart plots the percentage difference between each intraday price point and the previous day's 16:00 NY fix. Positive bars mean the price is trading above the fix; negative bars mean it is trading below. It is a clean way to see how today's session is positioning itself relative to the last settled benchmark.
How often does the data refresh?
The live price refreshes every 5 seconds. The historical series used for the charts and the fix derivation refreshes every 5 minutes.
