When does Bitcoin move more?

Abstract generation in progress

Many believe that Bitcoin operates like traditional markets with fixed hours… but no! Here it operates 24/7, without breaks.

What DOES change is the volatility:

  • Peak hours (8 AM - 4 PM local time): When the U.S. and European markets are active, volume concentrates and prices move more.
  • Daily close: Recorded every midnight UTC (00:00:00). Traders compare today's price vs. exactly 24 hours ago.
  • Candles: A daily candle closes and opens a new one after 00:00 UTC. Weekly candles close every Sunday.

The trick: There is no “closing time” like in the stock market. Bitcoin follows its own pace, but the real movement happens when there are active traders. If you're looking to get in, watch out for volume spikes—it's where things happen.
