▭ FVG▭ iFVG┄ MSS━ OB━ PWH/PWL▣ Swept

A Class A bullish displacement forms after consecutive session sweeps through Asian and London lows, establishing a killzone setup in cash hours. Price displaced from 7425.5 to 7437.25, creating a bull FVG at 7432.75–7433.75 that now sits unmitigated within the displacement range. The MSS at 7435 anchors the structure; price currently rests near the upper bound of this displacement, having traced an ITL–ITH–ITH pattern with the final ITH at 7452.25 before the recent pullback. A smaller iFVG (7430.5–7431) formed earlier and was already cleared. The bull FVG inside displacement presents as a zone of potential inefficiency; students observing this setup should note how multiple session lows swept (Asian, PDL, London) funnel institutional liquidity downward before the displacement reversal—a signature pattern indicating potential momentum rejection at support structure rather than indiscriminate buying pressure.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

━ VWAP━ EMA 20━ EMA 50┄ EMA 200·━ RSI(14)━ MACD━ Signal

Price sits 21.71 points below VWAP at 7435.75, while the 20 and 50 EMAs remain above current levels—a mixed stack structure with the 200 EMA sitting above at 7460.10, suggesting intermediate resistance overhead. RSI at 55.32 holds neutral-to-strong posture without overbought extremes, leaving room for directional conviction to build. MACD line is above its signal line (-0.88 vs -1.62) with a positive histogram at 0.74, indicating momentum is turning constructive even though both remain in negative territory. Volume at 6913 contracts represents a 1.55× multiple over the 20-bar average, showing elevated participation at the bar. ATR at 4.41 reflects modest volatility typical of the timeframe. The combination of rising momentum structure (MACD crossover setup), supported volume, and RSI in the middle zone suggests conditions favor directional expansion, though the price position relative to VWAP and the 200 EMA will likely determine conviction.
