BTC does not have official trading sessions in the same way. If you were to use the times of trading sessions to mirror the trading sessions of the stock markets, then I would think that the time that both the US and European stock market are open would likely be the heaviest for bitcoin trade as well. The reason for this is because this is when the most people with the most money are generally conducting business that could potentially involve a trade.

In forex you basically have three sessions, as money managers operate in different time zones; see:

I wonder how these volumes are similar or different in the overall bitcoin market (all exchanges; in summary).
