If new york opens and trades down into a discount array Unless the new york session opens up at a premium array or discount array on the HTF, new york will always expected to be a continuation of london. That changes if London trades down lower and then crosses into new york open and new york trades into a HTF discount array

Have the HTF PD arrays on your chart, then you wont be blindsided and youll see it coming
