← All signalsA Class A bullish displacement forms after successive sweeps of PDH (1.3437) and prior session lows, lifting price into 1.345 on a 5m structure. The swing sequence shows ITH at 1.3462 followed by contraction into ITL at 1.3375, establishing the current rally off that lower extreme. Multiple iFVGs and FVGs nest within the displacement—notably the bear iFVG (1.344–1.3445) created during the initial sweep phase, now sitting at the upper boundary, with bull FVGs stacked beneath at 1.3437–1.3439 and 1.3441–1.3443. The MSS (1.3447) anchors just above current price action, confirming the directional bias. This setup unfolds in cash killzone following London session structure, where liquidity was swept systematically—Asian highs, lows, PDH all tagged. A student watching this sequence should observe how the nested FVG stack acts as a staircase: each filled void creates a platform for the next displacement leg. When multiple FVGs align within a single displacement without mitigation, price often accelerates through them rather than reversing at individual levels, a key distinction from isolated void scenarios. Price sits at VWAP with all four EMAs aligned bullishly—20, 50, and 200 stacked in uptrend order and price above each. RSI at 60 reflects strong momentum without overbought extremity, leaving room for continuation. MACD line trades above signal with positive histogram, confirming directional conviction. Volume at 1108 contracts represents 3.52× the 20-bar average, a substantial spike in participation at the firing bar. ATR registers at near-zero levels, indicating minimal recent volatility range—unusual compression that often precedes directional expansion. The alignment of price, VWAP, and the bullish EMA stack together with above-signal MACD and heavy volume consolidates a coherent upside posture. No divergence between RSI and price action appears at this level, and the volume surge at price equilibrium suggests accumulation rather than distribution rejection.
