How well has the weekend price pointed to the reopen?
Over 30 weekends (Mar 20, 2026 to Oct 9, 2026), the Gold perp's weekend move correlated 0.78 with where the market stood two hours after Sunday's reopen, and pointed the same way in 21 of the 27 weekends with a real gap. The median move from the last weekend price to two hours after the reopen was 0.33%. Past weekends do not guarantee the next one.
While the outside market is closed, trade.xyz sets the contract's reference price from Hyperliquid's own order book. At the reopen that reference returns to the outside price, at most 0.5% per update (about every 3 seconds). So the weekend price is what traders on Hyperliquid are paying: a guide to the reopen, not a forecast.
