DESK LIQUIDITY INSIGHT

How to Capitalize on Market Session Overlaps

The foreign exchange and CFD markets operate across overlapping interbank desks. When two major financial capitals trade simultaneously, spread costs plunge to absolute raw interbank levels and order book volumes peak.

London / New York (12:00 – 16:00 UTC)

Accounts for 65%+ of all daily spot Forex and Gold liquidity. Most aggressive trend expansions occur during this window.

Tokyo / London (07:00 – 09:00 UTC)

Asian session liquidity pools are swept by European institutional algorithms, offering prime reversal setups on GBP & EUR pairs.
