A bullish Class A displacement forms after London Open sweep, with the structure breaking above the prior ITH at 1.3513 into fresh territory at 1.3514. The swing sequence shows a compressed ITL-ITL setup (1.3471 → 1.3456) that precedes this break—classic compression before displacement. The FVG sits between 1.3464 and 1.3467, nested inside the displacement range (1.3454–1.3477), creating a tight mitigation zone. This setup is characterised by rapid liquidity sweep through PDH, PDL, Asian session highs and lows, and London session extremes, all cleared before the current impulse. The killzone context places price in London Open territory where institutional order flow often drives directional continuity. A student watching this setup should observe how the iFVG (internal displacement FVG) positions relative to the MSS at 1.3467—the proximity suggests potential for draw-in back to that level before further extension, rather than straight-line continuation. The compressed ITL swing preceding the break is a textbook precursor for acceleration; note how many liquidity pools were swept *before* the impulse formed, not during it.

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume
━ VWAP━ EMA 20━ EMA 50┄ EMA 200·━ RSI(14)━ MACD━ Signal
Price sits flush at VWAP with the 20-EMA directly underneath, while the 50 and 200 remain below—a compressed EMA stack that signals early-stage alignment without decisive trend structure. RSI at 53.46 occupies the neutral zone, leaning neither overbought nor oversold. MACD line sits marginally above its signal with a zero histogram, indicating momentum at an inflection point—neither expanding nor contracting with conviction. Volume at 967 contracts against a 20-bar average of 363, a 2.67× ratio that registers as notably heavy relative to recent activity, suggesting material participation into this level. ATR near zero reflects minimal recent expansion, framing current volatility as subdued on the timeframe's scale. Together, the indicators describe a setup where price, moving averages, and momentum all converge near equilibrium—heavy volume into VWAP, neutral RSI, and flat MACD suggest price is absorbing conviction without directional commitment yet.
