Asia, Europe or the U.S.: where did the move happen?

For consistent comparison, this site fixes Asia at 08–16 KST, Europe at 16–22 and the U.S. at 22–08 the next day. These are not official exchange opening hours and do not change for daylight saving time.

Return runs from the first candle open to the last observed close. Range is different: a session that swings widely and returns to its start is not a strong positive-return session.

Live and completed sessions have different observation lengths. We compare the latest occurrence of each region, which need not fall on the same calendar date. Read the timestamp and live status together.

Session attribution is descriptive. It does not prove which participants caused a move or predict the next session. Cross-check prices, activity and official releases.
