How to Interpret This Graph
There are at least two reasons why you should track the major forex market trading hours:
* The first hour after a major market opens is considered very important and often indicates how the session might develop.
* In periods when market ‘trading hours’ overlap, liquidity tends to increase because more traders are participating in the FX market.
