▭ FVG▭ iFVG┄ MSS━ OB━ PWH/PWL▣ Swept

After the sweep of the Daily Low at 7677, price formed a Class A bullish displacement into the cash session killzone. The MSS at 7669.5 anchors the recent ITL sequence (7661.75 → 7676.25), with the most recent ITH printing at 7674.25. The bullish FVG (7668.5–7668.75) sits nested within an iFVG (7668–7668.25) in the lower portion of the displacement band (7664.5–7671). Both FVGs remain unmitigated and present an asymmetric liquidity void. The 60-minute bias reads bullish, though the 15-minute shows bearish chop, creating internal conflict. Price currently sits near the upper edge of the displacement. A student watching this setup should observe how buy-side liquidity beneath the MSS interacts with the nested FVG structure—specifically whether a pullback into that void reinforces the Class A context or whether a continuation higher signals momentum acceptance above the displacement. The PWH at 7887 and PWL at 7676 define the session's macro guardrails.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

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

Price sits 8.74 points below VWAP while the EMA 20 and 50 remain aligned above it, though the EMA 200 sits above price—reflecting a mixed intermediate structure where shorter-cycle support is present but longer-cycle resistance persists. RSI at 57.26 reads as strong momentum without extremity, leaving room for further advance before overbought territory. MACD shows the line well above its signal at 0.40 versus 0.09, with a positive histogram of 0.30, confirming upside momentum conviction. ATR at 2.17 points reflects modest volatility relative to recent average—typical consolidation-phase expansion. Volume at 739 contracts to 0.75x the 20-bar mean, indicating average conviction rather than climactic activity. The configuration suggests momentum is intact with technical structure allowing continuation, though the sub-VWAP price relative to the shorter EMA stack hints at intrabar retracement risk before any further push.
