▭ FVG▭ iFVG┄ MSS━ OB━ PWH/PWL▣ Swept

A Class A bullish displacement forms after the sweep of London low at 28550, with price now trading above the MSS at 28825.5. The move off that low displaces upward into 28887.5, enclosing a primary FVG (28681.75–28779.75) beneath the current candle structure. Two internal FVGs sit nested within: one at 28775–28777 (bear) and another at 28696.75–28718 (bear), both now mitigated by the upside displacement. The structure sits within New York AM killzone following exhaustion of London session liquidity—PDL, PM lows, Asian lows, and London highs have all been swept into this move. The current session context shows price holding above the bull MSS after displacing through multiple session liquidity zones. A student observing this setup might note how the sequence of iFVG mitigation—moving from lower to higher—can signal momentum continuation when each successive FVG fails to hold price, creating a chain of displacement rather than a reversal pattern.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

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

Price sits 90 points above VWAP with the 20 and 50 EMAs in bullish alignment below current levels, though the 200 EMA remains overhead at 29209—creating a mixed intermediate structure. RSI at 58 reflects moderate momentum without overbought tension, while MACD shows the line above its signal (-18.19 vs -34.48) with positive histogram expansion, indicating upside momentum initiation despite both sitting in negative territory. ATR at 93.60 points is elevated relative to typical context, suggesting volatility expansion into this move. Volume at 24517 registers 2.67× the 20-bar average—substantial conviction relative to recent trading. The setup presents a lower timeframe firing bar with VWAP support, short-term EMA alignment, and histogram expansion, balanced against the longer-term 200 EMA resistance and MACD remaining in negative absolute levels—a configuration where momentum is building but intermediate resistance remains defined.
