A 1.35% Week That Ranks 13th Out of 28
As of 2026-09-30, NVDAUSDT moved from 224.98 USDT to 228.01 USDT this week, a gain of 1.35%. Across 28 weekly samples, 12 weeks were stronger, placing this one at 13th. Among the same group of US equity USDT-margined perpetual contracts, TSLAUSDT fell 5.16%, AAPLUSDT fell 2.91%, and MSFTUSDT fell 1.4%, so NVDAUSDT was the only one to close positive. Ahead of earnings season, that split is itself information: money is not betting on tech as a block, it is picking.
What Happened Day by Day
The daily candles from 2026-09-22 to 2026-09-29 show a clear shape: six sessions of sideways drift, with the real move packed into 09-28 and 09-29.
| Date | open | close | change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-22 | 227.43 USDT | 228.7 USDT | 0.56% |
| 2026-09-23 | 228.7 USDT | 225.33 USDT | -1.47% |
| 2026-09-24 | 225.33 USDT | 224.04 USDT | -0.57% |
| 2026-09-25 | 224.04 USDT | 225.16 USDT | 0.5% |
| 2026-09-26 | 225.17 USDT | 224.71 USDT | -0.2% |
| 2026-09-27 | 224.71 USDT | 224.97 USDT | 0.12% |
| 2026-09-28 | 224.98 USDT | 229.63 USDT | 2.07% |
| 2026-09-29 | 229.62 USDT | 228.01 USDT | -0.7% |
On 09-28 price ran from 224.98 USDT to 229.63 USDT, a 2.07% day and the only real push of the week. On 09-29 it slipped from 229.62 USDT to 228.01 USDT, down 0.7%, giving back part of that gain. Elsewhere, 09-23 fell 1.47%, the largest drop of the week; 09-24 fell 0.57%, 09-25 rose 0.5%, 09-26 fell 0.2%, and 09-27 rose 0.12%, all within half a percent. The structure says the bulls and bears were not fighting hard; price oscillated between 224.04 USDT and 229.63 USDT until 09-28, when larger orders pushed it up, but the next day brought no follow-through.
For contract traders, this one-up-one-down rhythm is harder than a trend. Repeated entries inside a range let fees and slippage eat the account, and anyone who read the 2.07% on 09-28 as the start of a trend got an immediate answer from the -0.7% on 09-29. Before earnings season, this is a market waiting for an answer that has not landed yet.
Where This Week Sits in the 28-Week Sample
NVDAUSDT has 28 weekly samples, and 12 weeks were stronger than this week's 1.35%. Pulling out the strongest of those 12 makes the gap obvious.
| Week start | open | close | change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-03 | 200.57 USDT | 224.67 USDT | 12.02% |
| 2026-05-04 | 198.44 USDT | 215.12 USDT | 8.41% |
| 2026-08-31 | 216.97 USDT | 231.39 USDT | 6.65% |
| 2026-04-06 | 176.46 USDT | 188.14 USDT | 6.62% |
| 2026-03-30 | 165.69 USDT | 176.48 USDT | 6.51% |
| 2026-07-06 | 198.36 USDT | 210.98 USDT | 6.36% |
The week of 2026-08-03 rose 12.02%, the strongest in the sample; 2026-05-04 rose 8.41%; 2026-08-31 rose 6.65%, 2026-04-06 rose 6.62%, 2026-03-30 rose 6.51%, and 2026-07-06 rose 6.36%. This week's 1.35% is a different order of magnitude. The sample also holds far weaker weeks, such as 2026-06-29 at 1.71% โ note that 1.71% is still higher than 1.35%, so it also belongs to the 12 stronger weeks. In other words, this week ranks 13th of 28, right in the middle: stronger than half, weaker than half.
That position does not directly tell you where price goes, but it corrects an intuition. A positive weekly close can feel like bulls are in control, yet 1.35% is ordinary by NVDAUSDT's own history. What matters is whether the 2.07% candle on 09-28 gets follow-through, not the 1.35% total.
What the Trending Posts Say
Trending posts on Square argue that as US earnings season approaches, expectations around crypto-linked equities and tech giants will transmit into the related USDT perpetual contracts, and that the pre-earnings positioning battle tends to create more volatility than the earnings themselves (relayed, not the site's view).
There is something to that. NVDAUSDT, TSLAUSDT, AAPLUSDT and MSFTUSDT are US equity USDT-margined perpetual contracts, so earnings expectations land directly in price, and perpetuals add funding rates and leverage, which amplify sentiment faster than spot. But the claim carries a premise that is easy to miss: it describes volatility, not upside. Three of the four closed lower this week โ TSLAUSDT down 5.16%, AAPLUSDT down 2.91%, MSFTUSDT down 1.4% โ with only NVDAUSDT up 1.35%. That is exactly what two-way volatility looks like, and betting on direction before earnings is a low-clarity trade. Treat the post as a lens, not a basis.
Three Things to Be Clear About Before Earnings
First, gaps are unavoidable here. These contracts track US equities, and US markets close, so news during the closed window lands all at once when trading resumes rather than being absorbed continuously. A stop can be skipped entirely, with fills landing far from where you expected. Earnings season is the densest news window of the year, and after-hours results, guidance and management comments can all hit at the next open.
Second, high leverage turns manageable moves into unmanageable ones. This week NVDAUSDT's largest daily gain was 2.07% and its largest daily drop was 1.47%, neither large on its own. Leverage scales the profit and loss ratio, so the same 2.07% hits margin very differently. Worse, most sessions this week moved within 0.5%, and in that kind of narrow range the funding cost of leverage keeps accruing before any direction emerges.
Third, funding is a hidden holding cost. Perpetuals use funding to anchor price to the underlying; positive funding means longs pay shorts and negative means the reverse. Before earnings, sentiment can lean to one side and funding can lean with it, so the longer you hold, the more visible that cost becomes. Many traders watch only entry and current price, then find realized PnL does not match the headline move.
One more thing: any "best week" is a conclusion reached in hindsight. The week of 2026-08-03 rose 12.02%, the strongest in the sample, but nobody knew that at its start. This week's 1.35% looks ordinary now and may read differently later. Using a finished weekly candle to project the next one is a broken chain of logic.
Trading Costs
Binance's default maker fee is 0.02% and default taker fee is 0.05%. After a 20% rebate, the effective maker fee is 0.016% and the effective taker fee is 0.04%.
In a narrow week like this, fees are not a detail to skip. Most sessions moved within 0.5%, so repeated taker entries at an effective 0.04% accumulate and can eat a spread that looked fine on paper. Maker orders cost only 0.016% effectively but carry the risk of not filling and missing the move. Which to use depends on whether you think you must enter now or can wait for price to come to you.
