Asian Session High-Low+India Market Opening Reaction–Must Know!

365

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
  1. 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.

  2. Step 2 – Observe Price Behavior Near These Levels After India Opens
    → Rejection = Reverse (trade against breakout)
    → Break + Retest = Trend Continuation
  3. 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.
