A bull Class A ▲ forms after a systematic sweep of prior day high, Asian high, and PM high liquidity through 29552.5. The displacement runs 514 points from 29052.75 to 29566.75, with the most recent FVG (29473.75–29485) sitting tight at the displacement top in the London open killzone. Prior structure shows an ITL at 28815.5, followed by a sequence of ITH prints—29495.75, 29552.5, then a pullback ITH at 29508.25—establishing a clean impulsive bias. The iFVG (29303.5–29418.75) created earlier in the sweep now sits mitigated deeper within the structure. The MSS at 29552.5 has already been swept; price is holding above multiple bullish FVGs nested in the 29282–29409 zone. A student watching this setup should note how the most recent FVG at the displacement high remains largely unmitigated and sits in tight range—often a precursor to either immediate acceptance above or a re-test back into the body of the displacement before any continuation attempt.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

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

Price sits 117 points above VWAP with all four moving averages stacked bullish—20, 50, and 200 each nested in ascending order, anchoring an uptrend structure. RSI at 62.74 signals strong momentum without overextension into overbought territory, leaving room for continuation. MACD line trades 11.59 points above its signal with positive histogram, confirming directional conviction. ATR at 84.45 reflects above-average volatility for the timeframe, consistent with an active trend move. Volume at the firing bar reads light—roughly one-third of the 20-bar average at 34,674 contracts—suggesting the momentum advance is carrying forward on reduced participation rather than fresh accumulation. The setup presents as a trend-aligned momentum read: all indicators aligned bullish, price in command above both VWAP and the EMA stack, though the volume constraint warrants note as context for the character of that advance.
