The paradox of “night trading”: Bitcoin and Ethereum will grow when Wall Street sleeps
According to new data from the analytical company Bluekurtic Market Insights, all the negativity in the market is generated including during active trading sessions on Wall Street. At the “night” hour, the assets demonstrate increased growth.
Two realities of one market
Analysts divided the profitability of the two leading cryptocurrencies - Bitcoin and Ethereum - into two periods: “Intraday” (from the opening to the close of trading) and “Overnight” (from the closing to the closing). The results for the beginning of 2025 were surprising:
Bitcoin (BTC):
Zagal result (Buy & Hold): -25.9%
Money trading: -39.2%
Night Morning: +21.8%
Ethereum (ETH):
Zagal result (Buy & Hold): -39.7%
Money trading: -59.9%
Night Morning: +50.2%
Who “drives in” the price?
The charts clearly demonstrate: the left side of the sellers’ grip falls on the trading year itself (the red line on the chart). During this period, when traditional financial institutions are active, American and European stock exchanges operate, and prices for ETFs are also observed.
Experts see a number of reasons for this split:
Institutional sales: Great American funds that operate in the US working year are systematically shortening positions, creating a constant pressure on the price.
Asian optimism: "Night" growth is often countered by the Asian trading session, where investors may be more inclined to buy.
ETF factor: Flows of assets from spot ETFs (which are traded more than once a day) can create negative dynamics that push the market down during the working year.
