Tech Futures Open Nearly 1% Higher Despite Weekend Black Monday Fears

After a weekend filled with warnings about a potential “Black Monday,” technology futures opened nearly 1% higher.
The move highlights how quickly market expectations can diverge from actual price action.
Investors spent much of the weekend focused on extreme downside scenarios, weak sentiment and the risk of another sharp selloff.
Instead, early futures trading is showing buyers stepping back in.
That does not mean the volatility is over.
But when positioning becomes heavily defensive and fear is already elevated, even a small improvement in sentiment can produce a sharp rebound.
The key question is whether the strength holds into the cash session.
For now, the market is once again showing why the most crowded weekend narrative does not always translate into Monday’s price action.
