Friday’s Close – Futures Weekend Anchor
Purpose:
This indicator highlights the US futures weekend close price — the exact level where CME markets end trading on Friday at 4:00 PM CT / 5:00 PM ET.
It’s designed primarily for crypto traders who want to compare weekend market behavior to the traditional finance (TradFi) close.
Why it matters:
Crypto trades 24/7, but global liquidity and sentiment still pivot around the Friday futures close. During the weekend, crypto can “drift” relative to traditional markets — this line shows exactly where the week ended for Wall Street, giving you a clean reference point until futures reopen on Sunday evening.
Features
Usage Tips
Keep the chart’s timezone in sync with your anchor (America/New_York = 5 PM ET, America/Chicago = 4 PM CT).
Use weekOffset = 1 to view last week’s Friday close.
Combine with volume, funding, or open interest indicators to see how weekend moves relate to the TradFi close.
Ideal for weekend analysis — shows whether crypto is trading rich or cheap vs. the Friday benchmark before futures reopen.
Recommended For
Crypto traders, analysts, and quant enthusiasts who monitor TradFi–crypto decoupling or weekend premium behavior.
