The Asian Range: Blueprint for London and New York The Asian session (Tokyo, ~00:00–06:00 GMT) often prints a tight consolidation range. In 2025, traders use this range as a blueprint: smart money often manipulates the highs/lows of Asia before launching real moves in London or New York. This is the classic “Asia Raid” model: price dips below Asian low to tap liquidity, then reverses. Or it breaks above, fakes out, then collapses. The Asian range helps define intraday bias—if London breaks out clean and holds above Asia high, trend continuation is likely. Combine this with session killzones, FVGs, and economic news for sniper entries. Don’t underestimate Asia—it’s the canvas smart money paints on. Retail trades blindly. Pros wait for the blueprint, then strike with logic. The session may be slow—but its boundaries are precise. Treat the Asian range as your daily map. Once you master it, you’ll stop guessing direction—and start seeing the setup before it happens.
