Picked up some useful insights on time-based analysis and how the three major trading sessions operate differently.

The Asian session functions as an accumulation phase. Price tends to consolidate here, building a liquidity zone before the bigger moves kick in. It's where institutions quietly position themselves.

Then the London session arrives—that's when the real impulse starts. After breaking through key levels established during Asia hours, London traders typically push price through those structures with conviction.

Asian session accumulation, London session breakout, I've understood this logic long ago. Honestly, the key is to copy the institutions' orders. The positions they lay in during the Asian session are often the breakout points in London.

The Asian session is when institutions lay low; it looks unremarkable but all the details are hidden here... Once the London session begins, the true nature is revealed.

Asian session is really just the lurking period for institutional players; retail investors can only watch. Once the London session opens, it starts to surge.

The Asian session is when institutions quietly position themselves. It may seem dull, but they are actually building positions. The real surge begins when the London session starts, which is why many people lose money during the Asian session but profit during the London session.
