Strange time of day to try to break the resistance (China sleep time

)...
One official time zone but covering 5 real time zone... must be someone awake there imo
But I'm sure you've noticed how the markets consistently go dead every day around this time for ~ 8 hours or so. Have you not?

De discrepancy between daylight hours and the official work hours seems to be a common complaint in the westernmost parts of the country; the Uighur would like to have their timezone, for example. But having justone timezone simplifies many things and presumably makes the economy more efficient (banks are open at the same hours everywhere, for example).
Huobi's volume usually goes strong until 01:00 am local time, drops to near zero between 03:00 and 06:00, starts again by 07:30 am. OKCoin retains some residual traffic all the time (Fake trades? Autonomous robots? Arbitrage? Chinese abroad?)
During the "sleep" hours the West sometimes appears to lead.
