L3.2 — Using Session Highs and Lows as Execution Anchors

The high and low of the previous session are among the most reliable structural reference points for intraday execution. They represent the range within which the entire previous session's participants were positioned. A break above the London high during the New York session carries structural significance — it means the New York session has extended beyond the prior range, suggesting directional follow-through is active.

The tactical use: mark the Asian high and low before the London open. A clean break of the Asian range at London open is often the directional setup for the day. Similarly, marking the London high and low before the New York open gives you anchors for the second major liquidity window.

Session levels combine powerfully with structural confluences from higher timeframes. An H4 resistance level that coincides with the prior London high is a significantly higher-quality level than either alone. Session markers are free information embedded in every chart — use them.
