Gap % = (live indicative price − perp price at the last official close) ÷ perp price at the last official close × 100.
Worked example (16:05 UTC on Oct 27, 2026): (4,062.20 − 4,019.90) ÷ 4,019.90 × 100 = +1.05%. The perpetual is $42.30 above its price at the last official close.
Spot gold on COMEX observes a weekly maintenance window: trading stops Friday at 5:00 p.m. New York time and resumes Sunday at 6:00 p.m. ET. Between those times there is no official COMEX last sale, yet geopolitical headlines, US dollar moves, and real-yield shifts still change fair value in traders' models.
Macro gold perpetuals on decentralized venues continue quoting. Liquidity is thinner than mid-week, so prints can wick, but the mid price often tracks where professionals expect Monday's open. We compare the live indicative quote to the perpetual close in the one-hour candle ending at Friday 5:00 p.m. ET—clearly labeled as indicative, not exchange settlement.
Gold's weekend sensitivity tends to rise when equity risk is elevated or when markets price central-bank surprises ahead of Monday's data calendar. Watch the gap, but remember weekend perps can carry a basis vs spot.

The gap percentage compares the current indicative perpetual to the reference close at the last official session end in Eastern time. A positive gap means perps trade above that reference; negative means below. It does not tell you Monday's official open—especially for equities, cash open can differ from Sunday futures reopen. Use the sparkline for path since close, and the history table for frequency of follow-through.
Read concurrent moves across asset classes on the home board. Metals traders often cross-check silver; equity readers compare Nasdaq and S&P 500.
Every countdown and close reference on this page is computed with America/New_York, including daylight saving transitions. We do not approximate UTC offsets manually. That means the Friday close anchor moves between 21:00 and 22:00 UTC depending on the season, while the labeled local time stays 4:00 p.m. or 5:00 p.m. as appropriate for the asset class.
During the official pause, liquidity on decentralized venues can thin. You may see the gap expand quickly on headlines, then compress as Sunday reopen approaches and hedgers return. The weekend high and low fields summarize hourly candle extremes since the close reference—they are descriptive, not official exchange ranges.
The twelve-week table is a small sample. Same-direction hit rate tells you how often the reopen gap signed the same way as the pre-reopen weekend move; it is not a win rate for any strategy. Median absolute difference between weekend move and reopen gap helps you see whether Sunday open tends to mean-revert or extend. Combine with the full gap archive when you need more than a dozen rows.
If you are comparing FX against metals, remember FX reopens Sunday at 5:00 p.m. ET while COMEX-style products typically return at 6:00 p.m. ET. A synchronized global shock may show up in dollar pairs before it appears in gold's Sunday screen.
As of 16:05 UTC on Oct 27, 2026, gold (XAU/USD) is indicated at $4,062.20 on 24/7 perpetual futures (Hyperliquid xyz market), +1.05% vs the perp price of $4,019.90 at the last official close (Mon, Oct 26, 5:00 p.m. ET). COMEX gold futures have no official price between Friday 5:00 p.m. ET and Sunday 6:00 p.m. ET, so the weekend gold price is the indicative 24/7 perpetual quote shown on this page.
Across the last 12 weekends in our dataset, gold's perpetual moved a median of 0.17% (mean 0.27%, max 0.74%) in absolute terms between the Friday close reference and the last quote before Sunday reopen.
On the COMEX-style schedule we use, the weekly close is Friday 5:00 p.m. ET with reopen Sunday 6:00 p.m. ET. Daily maintenance also pauses trading 5:00–6:00 p.m. ET on weekdays.
No. It is an indicative perpetual mid/mark price from a 24/7 on-chain market. It is useful context, not a settlement print.
Thin liquidity, funding dynamics, and the absence of official arbitrage to COMEX can widen spreads. Macro shocks over the weekend can also reprice gold before pits reopen.
The close of the one-hour perpetual candle ending at the official Friday 5:00 p.m. ET close time—not the exchange's published settlement.

Many desk traders start with a simple checklist: note Friday's official close, mark where the perpetual traded at that instant, then watch whether the live quote drifts with news or with correlated markets. If dollar FX perps strengthen while gold perps soften, that divergence may reflect relative liquidity rather than a clean macro signal—cross-check both legs on the forex weekend page.
Before Sunday reopen, compare the gap to the median absolute difference in the history table. Large gaps that are unusual versus the last quarter of weekends deserve extra skepticism: thin books exaggerate moves. After reopen, official venues re-establish their own prints; this site does not stream those feeds in v1.
