▭ FVG▭ iFVG┄ MSS━ OB━ PWH/PWL▣ Swept

A Class A bullish displacement forms after the sweep of PDL and PM LO at 4480, with price rallying from 4421.8 to 4451 into off-hours. The MSS sits at 4442 following a prior ITH at 4449.9 and ITL at 4429.6. Inside the displacement, a primary FVG (bull) prints between 4425.6–4427.4, subsequently filled and reformed as a second bull FVG at 4427.7–4442.7 in the final candles. Multiple iFVGs cascade downward through the move (4440.6–4442.4 down to 4431–4433), creating a layered structure typical of displacement initialization. The killzone reads off-hours, placing this move outside London and New York morning sessions. HTF bias on the 60-minute shows bear, while the 15-minute carries bull—a divergence worth observing as the market enters its next session. Students should note how the primary bull FVG migrates higher as price extends; this migration often precedes deeper retracement or consolidation into the next session's killzone.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

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

Price sits 29.6 points below VWAP while the 20 and 50 EMAs rest above the current bar, creating a compressed but mixed trend structure—the 200 EMA remains above price, signaling longer-term resistance overhead. RSI at 69.87 reflects strong momentum without yet reaching overbought extremes above 70, indicating room for further directional conviction. MACD line trades 1.66 points above its signal with positive histogram expansion, confirming bullish momentum alignment. Volume at 108 contracts represents a 35% lift over the 20-bar average of 80, showing above-average participation into this move. ATR at 4.02 points reflects typical intraday volatility for this timeframe. The configuration suggests momentum is building within a price structure that remains anchored below both VWAP and the 200 EMA—a setup where short-term bullish indicators are firing while intermediate resistance levels define the ceiling.
