<blockquote><p><i><span data-contrast="none">Aside from the daily timing patterns, traders should also consider seasonal trends. For example, the holiday season might see reduced trading volumes and increased market volatility, presenting unique opportunities for risk-aware traders. Additionally, geopolitical events and economic indicators can create fluctuations in global markets, demanding cautious and strategic decision-making.</span></i></p>
<p><i><span data-contrast="none">Diversification remains a cornerstone of successful trading. By spreading investments across various asset classes and geographies, traders can mitigate risks associated with market fluctuations. It also provides the flexibility to adapt to different time zones and take advantage of favourable trading hours in diverse regions.</span></i></p></blockquote>
