Reading the Market

Session liquidity: London, New York and Tokyo

The 24-hour market isn't uniform. Every session has typical behaviour — and typical pairs that do most of their work in it.

5 min read

Tokyo

Best for JPY, AUD and NZD crosses. Quieter for EUR and GBP.

London

Deep liquidity across all majors. Sets the tone for the European day.

New York (and the overlap)

The London/New York overlap is the busiest window in FX. Most of the day's decisive moves happen here.
