▭ FVG▭ iFVG┄ MSS━ OB━ PWH/PWL▣ Swept

A Class A ▼ formed after sweep of ASIAN LO (86.705) into the NYAM killzone. The displacement runs 86.685–88.385; within it sits a bear FVG (87.515–87.76) that printed after a bullish iFVG (87.715–87.76) was collapsed. The MSS level at 87.33 marks the recent institutional sweep point where PDH and ASIAN HI were taken (88.015 and 87.915 respectively). Price is now sitting between the FVG and the MSS, with the horizontal resistance holding firm at 87.959 (PWH environment). The swing sequence shows ITH at 88.59 followed by ITL at 79.815—a wide range that establishes the bias downward on the higher timeframe. A student watching this setup would note the significance of all major liquidity pools being swept (PM, PDH, ASIAN, LONDON, DL): this exhaustion of buy-side liquidity into a narrowing range often precedes directional displacement. The bear FVG remains unmitigated and sits within the displacement—a potential reference point for structural rebalancing if price revisits it.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

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

Price closes 0.41 points beneath VWAP at 87.09, with the EMA stack compressed and inverted—20 above 50, both below the 200—signaling neither firm uptrend nor downtrend conviction. RSI sits neutral at 47.81, lacking directional bias. MACD shows the line at 0.16 trailing the signal at 0.20 with negative histogram of −0.04, suggesting momentum has begun to fade after recent advance. Volume on the firing bar reaches 5240 contracts, a 3.16x ratio over the 20-bar average of 1657—significant conviction behind the move. ATR at 0.60 points reflects moderate volatility context for the timeframe. The setup presents a compression state: price trades below both VWAP and the shorter EMA, momentum is rolling over, yet volume underscores participation in the bar itself. The combination of weakening MACD divergence against heavy volume creates tension between institutional participation and slowing directional energy.
