← All signalsA bullish displacement forms after the Asian low sweep at 49161, with price now sitting between 49606–49705. The swing context shows a series of ITH rejections (49818 → 49770 → 49781) preceding a sharp ITL drop to 49538, followed by the current recovery phase. The MSS level sits at 49699, positioning the displacement near a structural resistance anchor.
Within the displacement, a bull FVG (49666–49679) has formed and remains unmitigated. Two iFVGs (49680–49686 and 49669–49673) sit above the current price, offering potential resistance zones if momentum continues. Price currently holds near the lower boundary of the primary FVG. The London Open killzone is active, and the 60-minute bias reads bearish despite the 15-minute structure remaining bullish—a tension worth observing. Multiple session highs have been swept (PM, London, NWOG CE, Asian), which often precedes a final liquidity grab before directional commitment. A student watching this setup should note how the unmitigated bull FVG at 49666–49679 functions as an anchor—if price respects and holds it, the next displacement structure becomes the learning point; if it breaks cleanly through, the narrative shifts. Price sits 25 points below VWAP while the EMA 20 and 50 remain above the 200, establishing a layered uptrend structure despite the short-term dislocation. RSI at 57.39 reflects moderate momentum—above midline without overbought extremes, leaving room for directional follow-through. MACD shows the line trading above its signal line with a positive 6.95 histogram, confirming momentum alignment. Volume at 86 contracts runs 30 percent above the 20-bar average of 66, indicating conviction behind the move. ATR at 27.41 points represents typical volatility for this timeframe, neither compressed nor expanded. The combination of EMA structure intact, RSI in the upper-moderate zone, MACD histogram positive, and elevated volume suggests price is testing a minor pullback within a broader uptrend framework rather than breaking trend. The proximity to VWAP—just 25 points away—positions this as a potential rebalancing area where momentum indicators remain constructive.
