Asian Session High-Low+India Market Opening Reaction–Must Know!
Hello Traders!
Most traders focus only on the Indian market’s open without realizing the hidden power of the Asian session highs and lows . The reaction around these levels during our market opening can provide a fantastic intraday setup! Today, I’ll show you how to use Asian session levels combined with Indian market open to catch clean trades .
Why Asian High-Low Levels Matter
Pre-Defined Support/Resistance:
Asian session high and low create important reference points even before India opens.
Liquidity Pools:
Big players often place orders around these zones — making them natural traps or breakout points.
Clear Bias for the Day:
Price reaction at these levels can hint whether the day will trend or stay sideways.
The Setup – Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1 – Mark Asian Session High & Low
→ Asian session = from 5:00 AM to 9:15 AM IST
→ Plot horizontal lines at the highest and lowest points.
Step 2 – Observe Price Behavior Near These Levels After India Opens
→ Rejection = Reverse (trade against breakout)
→ Break + Retest = Trend Continuation
Step 3 – Entry, Stop Loss & Target
→ Entry: After confirmation candle (like engulfing, pin bar) at Asian High-Low
→ SL: Few points beyond the high/low
→ Target: 1:2 or next major support/resistance zone
When to Avoid This Setup
Major Gap Up or Gap Down Days:
If the market opens far away from Asian levels, ignore.
High Volatility News Days:
Big news flow (RBI policy, US inflation data) can invalidate early session reactions.
Rahul’s Tip
“First 15-30 minutes after open are critical.” Patience is key — let the market show you if Asian High/Low will hold or break!
Conclusion
By combining Asian session highs and lows with opening reactions , you can trade with a plan instead of guessing. This setup works beautifully for Nifty, BankNifty, and major stocks with decent liquidity.
