FVG iFVG MSS OB PWH/PWL Swept
NQ has formed a Class A ▼ after London swept the hi (29119.25), displacing down to 29010. The recent bearish FVG (29039.75–29052) sits inside this displacement and remains unmitigated. Prior structure shows an ITH at 29282.5 followed by an ITL at 28922.25—a significant swing that establishes the directional bias. The MSS level at 29030.75 sits just above the lower edge of the displacement, marking structural support where multiple iFVGs were stacked during the earlier consolidation phase. Current session is off-hours. The swept liquidity list (PDH, PDL, Asian hi/lo, London hi/lo, PM hi/lo, and both NDOG/NWOG CE levels) indicates the market has already hunted and cleared most intraday targeting zones. The bearish FVG at 29070.75–29094 remains unmitigated above current price. A student watching this structure would observe how the stacked iFVGs during consolidation created multiple liquidity pools—each one a potential impedance level on retracement. The displacement itself demonstrates clean directional intent; pullbacks into unmitigated iFVGs often reveal whether the move sustains or corrects.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

VWAP EMA 20 EMA 50 EMA 200· RSI(14) MACD Signal
Price sits 90 points below VWAP with the EMA 20, 50, and 200 stacked bearishly, confirming downtrend posture. RSI at 31.66 reflects weak momentum in oversold territory, while MACD shows the line trading 7.69 points below its signal with a negative histogram, indicating sustained selling pressure without bullish divergence. ATR at 20.07 points is moderate for this contract, typical of intraday swing ranges. Volume at 757 contracts represents a 2.01x ratio to the 20-bar average of 376, signaling conviction behind the current direction. The combination of bearish EMA alignment, deeply negative RSI, and MACD confirmation alongside heavy volume suggests momentum remains committed to the downside without structural support from price proximity to VWAP or indicator mean reversion signals.
