▭ FVG▭ iFVG┄ MSS━ OB━ PWH/PWL▣ Swept

M2K1 prints a Class A ▲ after successive liquidity sweeps—PDH, PM HI, London HI, and Asian HI all taken—forming displacement from 2878.6 to 2895.2 in cash killzone. The swing sequence shows ITH at 2875.7, pullback to ITL at 2846.4, then re-test to ITH at 2874.9 before the displacement leg. A bullish FVG (2885.9–2891.3) sits nested inside the displacement, with the MSS level pinned at 2891.3—the upper bound of the imbalance. Price currently presents the structural foundation for continuation: multiple HTF bias confirms bull across 15m, 30m, and 60m. A student watching this formation should observe how price manages the FVG on pullback—whether it respects it as support or breaks below to invalidate the structural integrity of the displacement. The proximity of the MSS to current price and the pristine nature of the imbalance present a marked tension between further upside continuation and potential mean reversion into the gap.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

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

Price sits 16.73 points above VWAP with all three EMAs stacked bullish—20 above 50 above 200—establishing the uptrend structure. RSI at 73.70 registers deep overbought territory, flagging momentum saturation. MACD line has crossed below its signal line with a negative histogram of −0.25, signaling early momentum divergence even as price remains elevated. ATR at 5.19 reflects low volatility context for this instrument. Volume at 1384 contracts reads significantly light relative to the 20-bar average of 2413—a ratio of 0.57—indicating weak conviction beneath the move despite price strength. The combination of overbought RSI, MACD line rolling over signal, and notably thin volume creates a technical picture of potential momentum exhaustion: the bull stack remains intact, but the firing bar itself shows slowing participation and early oscillator rollover.
