🔥 Trends do not emerge, time rules all
🕒 [Intraday Period · Life and Death Divide]
✅ Gold trading window
Beijing time 21:30 ~ next day 01:00
Overlap of European and American funds, highest liquidity
Real market conditions, few false breakouts, stable and continuous trends
❌ High-risk killing zone
Beijing time 04:00 ~ 10:00
Liquidity exhaustion, market makers controlling the market
Frequent fake breakouts, needle insertion losses, disorderly fluctuations
⚖️ Daytime transition period
Most of the daytime hours throughout the day
Mainly narrow-range oscillations, no major force exerted
Try to open fewer new orders, trade less frequently
📅 [Weekly Cycle · Fixed Rhythm]
🔹 Monday: Futures open, sweep high and low liquidity, mostly rebound after surge
🔹 Tuesday: Pull back to confirm direction, the day with the highest tolerance for mistakes
🔹 Wednesday: Market trend is strongest, best continuity, smooth rhythm
🔹 Thursday: Funds take profits and exit, overall weak, avoid chasing highs
🔹 Friday: Institutions close positions in bulk, pull back at the end of the session, no heavy positions hold overnight
🔹 Saturday/Sunday: Liquidity at freezing point, artificial control and needle insertion frequent, full-day flat observation
📆 [Four Weeks per Month · Capital Rotation]
▪️ Week 1: Capital reset at the beginning of the month, market slightly oscillates upward
▪️ Week 2: Peak liquidity throughout the month, data concentrated, trend most clear
▪️ Week 3: Collective profit-taking, market fluctuates repeatedly, long and short washout
▪️ Week 4: Capital outflows and reallocation at month-end, selling pressure increases, overall weak
🗓️ [Seasons and Quarters · Annual Pattern]
▪️ Q1 First quarter: New funds enter at the beginning of the year, overall market is relatively strong
▪️ Q2 Second quarter: Long and short game oscillates, market structure differentiation
▪️ Q3 Third quarter: Market liquidity is sluggish, a weak adjustment cycle throughout the year
▪️ Q4 Fourth quarter: Institutional year-end sprint, capital flows back, highest probability of upward movement
💡 Core mantra:
Main force working, then trade,
Avoid midnight slaughter sessions,
Don’t touch chaotic weekend markets,
Choose the right time, cut losses in half directly.
