New York session forex time

The New York session in forex trading typically runs from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST. It is one of the most active trading sessions due to the overlap with the London session between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM EST, which leads to high liquidity and increased market volatility. This session is known for strong movements in USD pairs, as major U.S. economic data is often released during these hours, influencing currency prices. Traders closely watch this session for potential breakouts and trend continuations.
