Perpetual futures on the S&P 500 crossed above 7,700 on the morning of October 27, 2026, before U.S. cash markets had opened for the day. That move matters because perpetual futures reflect where active traders are willing to put real money.
The level of 7,700 now becomes the first line traders will watch when the opening bell rings. A sustained hold above it in the first hour of cash trading would confirm that the overnight buying had conviction behind it.
