Is there is a 'Best' Time to Trade
$BTC or other cryptocurrencies?
The short answer: Yes, during US market opening hours.
More info based on market data:
Unlike traditional markets, cryptocurrency markets remain open 24/7, even during public holidays.
The global and ceaseless nature ofĀ cryptocurrencyĀ trading poses some challenges for traders like finding the best time to trade.
Finding the right hours to conduct trades is not just a challenge for spot traders, but also for investors in decentralized finance (DeFi) tokens.
The history:
Crypto trading had fairly straightforward patterns before its mainstream adoption began in earnest in mid-2020. Western institutions avoided crypto at all costs, and trading, along with other crypto activities like mining, was concentrated in Asia.
But those patterns changed.
However, as institutional adoption brought more trading volume to the Western hemisphere, the timing has changed. Now, the best time to trade is usually during market hours of stocks in the U.S., which is 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST.
Bitcoin
$BTC spot volume tends to peak during U.S. stock market hours, especially at the opening bell.
About weekend trading.
Trading crypto on weekendsĀ can be risky due to limited liquidity in the market. With traditional financial institutions closed, there are fewer participants, leading to increased volatility and wider bid-ask spreads. These unfavorable trading conditions can result in significant losses.
About the time of the year.
Similar to stocks, cryptocurrencies tend to see low trading volume during the summer, as many traders go on vacation and are not focused on trading. Crypto tends to see the most gains during the spring and fall months.Ā
Understanding some of the market trends allows you to better understand the market and make better trading decisions.
I wish you all good trading timings and a bit of luck as well :)
