Weekend gap history
In our dataset of 22 weekends for gold (2026-04-24 to 2026-10-23) and 22 for the S&P 500 tracker (2026-04-24 to 2026-10-23), gold's perpetual moved a median of 0.15% (mean 0.22%, max 0.74%) in absolute terms between Friday's official close reference and the last quote before Sunday reopen, and the S&P 500 tracker a median of 0.24% (mean 0.26%, max 0.59%). Against the Monday 9:30 a.m. ET cash open, the S&P 500 tracker's median absolute gap from Friday's close reference was 0.33% over 21 weekends, and the sign of the weekend move matched the sign of that cash-open gap 8 times (38%).

Gold vs S&P 500: typical weekend gap (absolute)

Weekend move = Friday official-close perp price → last quote before Sunday reopen. Reopen gap = Friday official-close perp price → first perp price at the official reopen. Source: Hyperliquid xyz hourly candles; stored records only, holiday weeks not cleaned.
Back-test: the last Sunday quote vs the reopen print
Across the stored weekends, how far was the perp price one hour before the Sunday reopen from the perp print at the reopen — and, for the two equity-index trackers, from the perp price at the Monday 9:30 a.m. ET cash open? Absolute errors in percent of the pre-reopen price. This is perp-to-perp: no official Monday open or futures settlement is stored, so it measures how much a late-Sunday perp quote moves before the session actually restarts, not accuracy against the exchange.

FAQ
How big are weekend gaps in gold and the S&P 500 historically?
In our dataset of 22 weekends for gold (2026-04-24 to 2026-10-23) and 22 for the S&P 500 tracker (2026-04-24 to 2026-10-23), gold's perpetual moved a median of 0.15% (mean 0.22%, max 0.74%) in absolute terms between Friday's official close reference and the last quote before Sunday reopen, and the S&P 500 tracker a median of 0.24% (mean 0.26%, max 0.59%). Against the Monday 9:30 a.m. ET cash open, the S&P 500 tracker's median absolute gap from Friday's close reference was 0.33% over 21 weekends, and the sign of the weekend move matched the sign of that cash-open gap 8 times (38%). These are perpetual-futures gaps measured against the perp price at the official close, not official exchange gaps.
How is a weekend gap measured here?
Weekend move = (last perpetual quote before the official reopen − perp price at Friday's official close) ÷ perp price at Friday's close. Reopen gap uses the first perpetual price at the official reopen instead. Gold closes Friday 5:00 p.m. ET and reopens Sunday 6:00 p.m. ET; the S&P 500 closes Friday 4:00 p.m. ET (cash) with futures reopening Sunday 6:00 p.m. ET.
Do weekend moves predict the Sunday reopen direction?
Over the stored weekends, gold's weekend move and reopen gap had the same sign in 91% of weekends and the S&P 500 tracker's in 86%. It is descriptive history, not a trading signal.
Where does the history data come from?
Hourly candles from Hyperliquid's public info API (HIP-3 xyz markets), seeded from about 26 weeks of history and extended by a cron job after each weekend; the full table is available as JSON and CSV.

How to use this history
Weekend drift vs reopen gap helps you see whether indicative perps tended to front-run official reopen direction. It is descriptive statistics only—liquidity regimes change, and holiday weeks are not cleaned. Methodology details live on the methodology page.
