päivänsisäistä

Päivänsisäistä is a Finnish term that translates to "intra-day" in English. It is commonly used in financial markets and trading contexts to refer to events, price movements, or trading activity that occur within a single trading day. For example, an intra-day trader might aim to profit from small price fluctuations that happen between the market's opening and closing bell.

The analysis of intra-day price charts, often showing minute-by-minute or hour-by-hour price changes, is a key component of intra-day trading strategies. Traders using these strategies typically do not hold positions overnight, aiming to close all trades before the market closes. This approach is distinct from swing trading or long-term investing, which involve holding positions for longer periods.

Intra-day volatility can be influenced by various factors, including economic data releases, corporate news, and general market sentiment. Understanding these intra-day dynamics is crucial for traders who operate within this short time frame. The term can also be applied more broadly to any occurrence within a single day, though its financial market usage is the most prevalent.
