▭ FVG▭ iFVG┄ MSS━ OB━ PWH/PWL▣ Swept

A Class A ▼ forms after successive sweeps of both NWOG CE (4712.25) and Asian LO (4678.4), with displacement ranging 4675.9–4714.4. The recent ITH at 4743.6 sits well above the NWOG killzone, establishing directional bias into the current off-hours session. Price has already broken below the MSS level at 4678.4, confirming liquidation of Asian session lows. The bear FVG (4687.8–4689.7) sits inside the displacement and remains unfilled—a pocket of inefficiency now above current price action. Two iFVGs (4681.3–4686 and 4689.9–4699.6) bracket the structure, with the lower iFVG already engaged. The HTF bias (60min) reinforces bearish continuation. A student observing this setup should note how the sweep sequence—NWOG first, then Asian LO—created a two-phase liquidation pattern; the intermediate FVG now serves as a potential resistance node should price displace back into it, rather than a target to be immediately filled.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

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

Price closes 16 points below VWAP with the full EMA stack bearish—20 below 50 below 200—establishing a downtrend structure. RSI at 34 sits in weak territory, signaling momentum fatigue on the downside. MACD line trades below its signal line with a negative histogram of –0.64, confirming bearish momentum without fresh acceleration. ATR at 9.63 points reflects low volatility relative to recent ranges, typical of consolidation or exhaustion phases. Volume at 1,099 contracts represents only 32% of the 20-bar average, indicating light participation at this price level and suggesting conviction is absent. The combination of weak RSI, lagging MACD histogram, and sub-average volume creates a portrait of downtrend structure without momentum thrust—a state where directional commitment remains unclear despite bearish indicator alignment.
