A bull Class A displacement formed after London's sweep of the high at 29464.5, printing a fresh ITH at 29419.75. Price rallied from the 29127 floor through the earlier iFVG (29296.75–29373.25), then extended into a second FVG (29273.75–29407.25) created on the break above the MSS at 29464.5. The bull FVG now sits unmitigated between the displacement bottom and the most recent high—internal air that can be used as a reference on any pullback into cash session. Multiple session lows have been swept (NDOG CE, PM LO, ASIAN LO, LONDON LO) ahead of this move, suggesting institutional liquidity collection before displacement. The killzone context shows cash open still ahead. Students of the method should observe how the bull FVG, despite forming *inside* the displacement structure, offers a clean reference level for rejection or continuation bias if price revisits it during the next cycle.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

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

Price sits 221 points above VWAP with all three major EMAs aligned in bullish stack order, forming a clean uptrend structure. RSI at 65.93 signals strong momentum without yet reaching overbought territory, leaving room for continuation. MACD line trades 20 points above its signal with a positive histogram of 20.43, confirming bullish histogram expansion and momentum alignment. Volume at 27,153 contracts runs 31% above the 20-bar average, reflecting elevated conviction at this price level. ATR registers 106.64 points, typical for current volatility context. The convergence of price above both VWAP and the EMA stack, coupled with RSI in the upper-moderate zone and MACD in positive expansion, reflects a trending structure with momentum still intact. The elevated volume underscores participation behind this move.
