why are we having these premarket and afterhours spikes suddenly?

Well then they can troll someone else.
There is no need for me to be on a forum full of trash where mods do nothing about it

Not true. You don't have to see their posts by using the ignore feature.

i can observe the market and figure out the repeating patterns like these premarket and afterhours moves for last 6 months
i ve been watching those way before all the youtubers started talking about it(confirming my observation)

but thats where im stuck

what is driving all those moves outside of normal trading hours?
is that the new strategy of chatroom pumpers?becasue they can hide more data when market is closed?

Nothing abnormal.
Every day there are thousands of spikes and gaps in this world.


One of the best places to experience spikes and gaps is to trade
Shanghai INE International Energy Products like crude oil, copper....

It has
morning tea break
lunch break
afternoon break,
night break

resulting in many spikes and gaps here and there.

what i mean is how would i find out what is causing the spikes so i can analyze it and make a strategy.
isnt that how you create a trading strategy by understanding what creates the move?

To keep chumps and schumks out. I watched a T/S go all the way up and all the down before before premarket opening. It occurred during a Sierra Nevada corporation take over of Orbital Sciences. Wanted to get out of the trade with a 200% profit margin back in 2009ish. Pre and Post markets spikes are a good tool to locate sectors.

Take for example Shanghai INE's crude oil

1. before the afternoon break
no major news. So INE crude oil prices hardly move

2. during the China afternoon break.
Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz

3. after the afternoon break
Crude oil prices will gap up massively.


So if you trade INE crude oil,
there is no trading opportunity because of the massive gap.



If you trade say WTI or Brent crude oil,
you might be able to earn tons of money.




In most cases, you will know the reason for the gap
many hours/days later (or never !!!!!!)
