▭ FVG▭ iFVG┄ MSS━ OB━ PWH/PWL▣ Swept

A Class A bull ▲ forms after Asian session swept the Asian LO at 7820.25, creating displacement from 7820 to 7828.25. The prior context shows a series of ITH rejections (7838.5, 7794) followed by sustained consolidation, with the most recent bull OB at 7821.75 preceding the sweep. A bullish FVG sits at 7822–7822.75, having been created during London open—the active killzone—while an iFVG (7822.25–7824) formed earlier in the displacement. The MSS level rests at 7826, near the top of the displacement envelope. HTF bias across 15m, 30m, and 60m confirms upside continuation structure. The educational marker here: notice how the sweep of Asian LO coincided with London open, a confluence of session and displacement that often precedes efficient movement. The FVG sitting just above the swept liquidity level presents a structural reference point for observing continuation behavior within the current bull phase.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

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

Price sits marginally above VWAP at 7826.75, with all three EMAs stacked bullish beneath—20, 50, and 200 in ascending order. The EMA 20 at 7823.68 and EMA 50 at 7820.81 form a tight, aligned structure that anchors upside bias. RSI at 61.11 reads as strong momentum without extremity, leaving room for further expansion. MACD line at 0.39 trades above its signal at 0.09, producing a positive histogram of 0.30—confirmation of momentum persistence. ATR at 2.44 reflects low volatility, typical of consolidation context. Volume at 2212 contracts print 73% above the 20-bar average of 1281, signaling elevated participation into this level. The combination of stacked EMA alignment, price anchored just above VWAP, RSI in the 55–75 band, and MACD histogram positive with conviction volume suggests the structure is holding upside intent with measurable momentum.
