▭ FVG▭ iFVG┄ MSS━ OB━ PWH/PWL▣ Swept

A bullish Class A displacement forms after a sweep of the Asian Low at 7424, with price now printing above the MSS level at 7442. The recent swing sequence shows price rallying from an ITL at 7416.25 to an ITH at 7550, then retracing into the London Open killzone where the displacement initiated. A bull FVG (7426.75–7429) sits nested inside the displacement zone, while a smaller bear iFVG (7425.5–7426.25) was created during the initial sweep phase. The bull FVG remains partially unfilled and presents as the primary liquidity pool within this structure. The 60-minute bias holds bull confirmation, supporting the directional setup. A student watching this formation would observe how the sweep of the Asian Low—a traditional premium-draw level—precedes the displacement itself; the liquidity hunt often completes before the displacement begins its displacement leg, a common sequencing pattern in the early London session.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

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

Price sits 7.44 points above VWAP at 7442.75, with the 20-EMA at 7436.25 affirming near-term support, though the 50 and 200 EMAs remain overhead at 7450.50 and 7480.35 respectively, creating a mixed intermediate structure. RSI at 51.98 is neutral, neither overbought nor oversold, while MACD shows the line at −6.02 trading above its signal at −8.54 with a positive histogram of 2.52, suggesting early momentum relief within a broader negative regime. ATR at 11.55 reflects low to moderate volatility for this timeframe. Volume at 12740 is elevated relative to the 20-bar average of 7618 (1.67× ratio), indicating conviction behind the move. The combination of price holding above the short-term EMA, MACD line crossing above signal, and above-average volume suggests consolidation within a structurally weak setup, with the overhead EMA resistance defining near-term friction.
