Every other market shuts down Friday afternoon. Equities, bonds, commodities, FX. They all freeze and reprice on Monday based on whatever happened over the weekend.
BTC keeps going. $69K on a Saturday night, printing candles while the S&P is dark.
The refi rollover question is still open. $9.2T in Treasury debt rolling over in 2026, and the clearing rate is a coin flip. Tariff repricing from the latest round of trade posturing hasn't settled either. Two massive macro uncertainties, and the only globally liquid asset right now is the one with no closing bell.
Weekend BTC volume is increasingly where the real positioning happens. Institutional desks can't move equities or bonds, but they can move BTC. So when you see sustained buying on a Saturday, that's someone with a view on Monday's open expressing it through the only instrument available.
Curious if anyone else is tracking weekend vs weekday volume patterns. I think there's a real edge in paying attention to what happens when traditional markets are closed.
