Liquidity Overlaps Guide
The highest liquidity and volatility occur when major sessions run concurrently. These overlaps drive tighter bid/ask spreads, faster executions, and stronger directional trend momentum:
London & New York
ActiveUp to 70% of total daily volume is transacted during these four hours. Spreads are tightest and trends are highly reliable.
Tokyo & London
ClosedModerate volume spike as Asian traders close their books and European institutions open theirs.
For trend-following models, session transitions often spark breakouts. Avoid entering new demo trades in the final hour of New York (low liquidity, high spreads).
