Wick

Session highs & lows as liquidity

Liquidity & Stop Hunts

Every session leaves its own pool

The Asian session prints its own high and low. So does London. So does New York. Each one becomes a fresh, short-term liquidity pool that the NEXT session frequently targets before setting its own direction.

The overnight range is a built-in map

You don't need to guess where liquidity sits at the open. The overnight session already drew it for you. Its high and low are usually the first two levels the new session tests.

The first move isn't always the real move

The initial push at a session open frequently exists just to grab the prior session's liquidity. Treat it as information, not confirmation, until you see what happens after the grab.

Check yourself

London opens and immediately pushes to take out the overnight Asian session's low. What's the most likely read?

  1. London swept the Asian session's sell-side liquidity correct
  2. A random coincidence
  3. The Asian session is now permanently bearish

Session opens routinely reach back for the prior session's untaken liquidity before committing to their own direction.
