1. Why Gold Dominates the 08:00 - 11:30 EST Window
The overlap between the London afternoon session and the New York morning session represents over 60% of daily global Forex and Precious Metals transaction volume. During this 3.5-hour window, Spot Gold (XAUUSD) exhibits pristine institutional behavior: clean order blocks, reliable FVG respect, and expansive multi-dollar expansion legs.
2. The 15M Gold Liquidity Expansion Setup
Step 1 (08:00 EST): Mark the High and Low established during the London morning session.
Step 2 (NY Open Sweep): Watch for a fast liquidity sweep of the London Session High/Low between 08:30 and 09:30 EST.
