I name my main trading strategy that I use for spot trading that “timing strategy”. I kept monitoring the market day and night on a weekly basis for 12 months. Patience and trials are my keys for success.. i will some of the main points that you can try yourself and see if my strategy is effective or not. The following data is calculated based on my time zone (UTC +3). And backed up ny technical factors:
- Best Days for Spot Trading: Tuesday–Thursday/
Peak trading activity as European and US markets overlap, driving liquidity and volatility which is Optimal for capturing trend reversals or breakouts during high-volume periods….
• Monday; Lower volumes as markets digest weekend news; potential early dips (06:00–10:00 UTC+3) for accumulation.
• Friday:: Reduced volatility post-18:00, as traders close positions ahead of weekends.
• Weekends: Avoid unless targeting low-cap altcoins (high risk due to illiquidity and pump-and-dump schemes).
Intraday Timing:
• Optimal Entry Windows is between 06:00–10:00.
• (08:00 ): Often sees price dips due to Asian market sell-offs.
• Look for oversold RSI (<30) on 4-hour charts.
• 15:00–17:00 : volatility rise due to Overlap of European midday and US pre-market activity; such time can be Ideal for breakout trades (e.g., Bollinger Band expansions).
• 20:00–22:00: are Peak US trading hours (14:00–16:00 ET); which means highest liquidity and trend momentum.
Exit Tactics
• Take-profit triggers:
• Sell into strength during 20:00–22:00 rallies.
• Set trailing stop-losses at 2–3% below moving averages (e.g., 50-period EMA).
• Avoid holding overnight:
• Close positions by 22:00 to sidestep late-night whipsaws.
Risk Management for Spot Traders
• Volatility filters:
• Trade only if 1-hour ATR exceeds 1.5% of asset price.
• Avoid major news events (e.g., Fed announcements at 21:00).
• Liquidity check:
• Confirm $1M+ 24h volume on CoinMarketCap before entering.
Weekend Considerations:
While weekends (Friday 22:00 – Sunday 22:00 UTC+3) are generally risky, but if you are experienced traders you can:
• Scalp stablecoin pairs: Exploit 0.5–1% swings in USDT/BTC or ETH pairs.
• Set limit orders: Capitalize on liquidity gaps
REMINDER: all data are based on (UTC +3) time zone .
Final tip: align these time windows and validate them with volume/MACD convergence. spot if you follow my theory, you can enhance risk-reward ratios while minimizing exposure to erratic price action.
In the end and as we all know what we must say: THIS IS NOT A FINANCIAL ADVICE…. #DYOR*
