Why do futures go green all night and then suddenly change to red or vise versa in the morning?

Late night futures usually have low liquidity and can therefore be pushed around quite easily by a couple of pj traders

The reason why there are often sudden moves after 3am is because that’s when Europe markets open, and Europe usually guides futures until premarket trading opens in the US
