Friday’s Close – Futures Weekend Anchor

20 oct

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

• Precise Friday close capture (CME weekend close minute, not just daily bar)
  
• Works on any ticker — especially useful for BTC, ETH, or other crypto assets
  
• Adjustable for time zone (New York / Chicago / custom)
  
• Option to select prior weeks with weekOffset
  
• Draws a single clean line from Friday’s close forward — no clutter, no vertical stitches
  
• Optional right-edge label with the close value and timestamp
  

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.
