Why you should know Forex Market Hours?

Forex is a 24-hour market and it has its own time structure, therefore an important part of every successful forex strategy is knowing what the appropriate time is for each zone.

As the Asian/Japan session closes, the US session opens and is followed by the European/London session. During the latter two most of the trading takes place. Therefore, the markets are much more volatile during these hours, especially during the overlap of the US and European sessions.
