What it means

Session extension shows the market moving beyond a known reference such as the opening range, initial balance, or prior session high.

What to watch

The market can extend briefly and still fail. The important distinction is between a true extension and a one-sided probe that is rejected.

Where traders usually run into this

Session Extension is most useful once it is tied to a concrete page, chart decision, or workflow question.

Best next page if this term is blocking you

If you understand the definition but still do not know what to do with it, start with Opening Range. That page is the fastest way to see how session extension shows up in a real glossary workflow.
