▭ FVG▭ iFVG┄ MSS━ OB━ PWH/PWL▣ Swept

A bearish Class A displacement forms after multiple liquidity sweeps through the London killzone. Price rallied into the PDH (4588.6) and London high (4571.9), collecting stops before reversing lower. The prior ITH at 4725.8 and subsequent ITL at 4513.8 established the swing context; the structure then built a second ITL at 4483.5 before the most recent rally created displacement between 4528.6 and 4593.2. Three iFVGs nested within that displacement—the uppermost at 4571.6–4577.9—were overrun during the London sweep. A fresh bearish FVG now sits at 4575.4–4577.9, mitigated by the displacement itself. The MSS level rests at 4536.2. Price currently trades below the top of displacement with the day-session low (4529.3) already swept. A student observing this structure should note how each successive sweep of structural highs (PM high, DH, London high, PDH) progressively engaged lower resistance, a hallmark of institutional order flow exhaustion before a reversal impulse.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

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

Price sits 19 points below VWAP with the EMA stack bearishly aligned—20, 50, and 200 all descending and price trading beneath each level. RSI at 40.87 reflects weak momentum in the lower half of the range, while MACD shows the line trading below its signal at −4.77 versus −3.12, with histogram still negative at −1.66, confirming downside momentum has not yet reversed. ATR at 19 points is typical for the timeframe, indicating average volatility. Volume at 3369 sits slightly below the 20-bar mean at 0.86 ratio, suggesting below-average participation on the firing bar. The composite read shows price under systematic resistance from the moving-average structure, momentum readings remain directionally bearish, and volume lacks conviction on the bar itself—a setup where the structural backdrop continues to favor lower price exploration pending a shift in either momentum or volume confirmation.
