▭ FVG▭ iFVG┄ MSS━ OB━ PWH/PWL▣ Swept

A bullish displacement forms after sequential liquidity sweeps—Asian high and NWOG CE both taken at 29154–29145—leaving a Class A ▲ structure. The swing presents ITH at 29783.75, ITL at 29140.75, then ITH rejection at 29487, creating an internal higher high that sits 295 points above the most recent ITL. Within this displacement (28924–29419.75), a primary FVG (29130.25–29170.75) nests below price and an iFVG (29144.5–29168.5) forms in the pullback phase, both unmitigated. The MSS level anchors at 29283.75, well above current price structure. Price sits in NYAM killzone, and the 60-minute bias remains bullish across all HTF filters. A student observing this setup should note how the iFVG formed *after* the sweep—not before—making it a liquidity-creation event rather than a mitigation target, a distinction that shapes where acceptance typically resumes on continuation.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

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

Price sits 286 points above VWAP with the 20-EMA holding below—a mixed stack posture reflecting upside momentum against intermediate resistance. RSI at 66.63 signals strong overbought conditions without yet breaching critical 70, suggesting room for momentum extension before pullback risk materializes. MACD line trades decisively above signal at 21.78 versus −5.38, with a positive histogram of 27.16 confirming bullish momentum phase. ATR at 102 points reflects elevated volatility typical of directional expansion. Volume at 72,985 contracts registers nearly 3× the 20-bar average, delivering substantial conviction to the move. The confluence of above-VWAP price, strong RSI posture, and positive MACD histogram alongside heavy volume creates a momentum picture consistent with directional thrust, though the mixed EMA stack and RSI proximity to overbought zones warrant awareness of mean-reversion risk.
