How Gold Behaves
Module 8 — Trading Sessions
Gold trades nearly around the clock, but its character changes by session.
| Session | Typical gold behaviour |
|---|---|
| Asian | Narrower ranges; the session extremes often become reference levels |
| London | Volume and range expand; the daily direction is often established |
| New York | US data drives the sharpest moves of the day |
| London / New York overlap | Highest liquidity and the largest swings |
Choose a session and learn its rhythm rather than trading all of them badly.
Key concepts
- Session liquidity changes
- Asian extremes can become references
- London and New York often expand range
Practical example
An Asian high becomes a reference as London volume enters, not an automatic sell signal.
Common mistake
Expecting the same speed and range in every session.
