Opens the trading day with moderate activity. Preferred for trading AUD pairs and early market entries.
Focused on JPY pairs with solid liquidity. It slightly overlaps with Sydney, improving execution conditions.
The most active and liquid session. Offers strong moves across major currency pairs.
It ranks second in volume; however, its overlap with London creates peak volatility —especially in USD-based trades.
The best trading opportunities often arise during session overlaps, particularly between the London and New York sessions. These periods feature higher volume, tighter spreads, and increased price movement, making them ideal for short-term and intraday strategies.
