I just saw some interesting data: crypto perpetual contracts are predicting the opening of Wall Street on Monday with 89% accuracy. Quite impressive, honestly. It seems that these contracts have become a fairly reliable indicator for reading the sentiment of the traditional market.
There is something about how these contracts move that reflects what will happen in the stock market a few hours later. I don't know if it's because institutional traders are using both markets or simply because the flow of money is more transparent in crypto, but the pattern is there.
If this continues, the contracts could be a useful tool for anticipating opening movements. It's worth monitoring them more closely in the coming weeks.
