MNQ11 3m BULL forms a Class A ▲ after sweep of NDOG CE, PDL, and PM LO liquidity during the London Open killzone. Price displaced from 29125.25 to 29206, creating a bullish FVG (29161–29166.25) now sitting inside the displacement. The swing sequence shows ITL rejection at 29088.25 and 29105, with an ITH at 29140—establishing a higher-low structure across the session. Two iFVGs sit above the primary FVG at 29187.5–29190 and 29151.5–29164.5, the latter partially overlapping the active FVG. MSS level rests at 29181.25, aligning near the upper iFVG boundary. HTF bias (60m) remains bullish, and the PWH reference at 31290 is well above the current displacement. Students should observe how the primary bullish FVG sits *within* the displacement and how a subsequent retracement would interact with it—particularly whether price revisits the FVG before attempting extension, or whether it trades through liquidity levels above without mitigation.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

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

Price sits 65 basis points above VWAP with the 20 and 50 EMAs stacked above the 200, establishing an uptrend structure despite mixed hierarchy. RSI at 64.23 signals strong momentum without overbought extremes, while MACD shows the line decisively above its signal line with a positive histogram of 4.40, confirming directional conviction. Volume at 4663 represents a 34% expansion versus the 20-bar average of 3479, indicating participation during the move. ATR at 23.77 reflects elevated volatility typical of continuation phases. The confluence of price above all major moving averages, RSI in the upper-middle range, positive MACD separation, and above-average volume suggests momentum persistence. No divergence signals appear between price and momentum oscillators, reinforcing the integrity of the current directional structure.
