A Class A bullish displacement forms after the sweep of PM high at 7415.25, with price now cycling above the MSS level at 7416.25 into New York AM session (killzone: NYAM SB). The displacement spans 7376.75 to 7433.75, containing a bear iFVG (7400.75–7409.5) seated inside the lower half and a bull FVG (7410.5–7412.75) nested tighter near the MSS. The recent swing sequence—ITH 7440.75, ITL 7384, ITL 7354.25, ITH 7475.75—shows price broke above the prior intermediate high and compressed into displacement. Multiple session lows (DL, PDL, PM LO, Asian LO, London LO) swept lower before this move, clearing liquidity below structure. The setup sits with all HTF bias aligned bull (60, 30, 15 min). Students should observe how the bear iFVG remains unmitigated and positioned above the displacement base—it may serve as a liquidity pool during consolidation or retracement before directional continuation.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

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

Price sits 29 points above VWAP with the 20 and 50 EMAs stacked constructively below, though the 200 EMA sits 18 points above current levels, creating mixed directional context. RSI at 66.96 reflects strong momentum without yet entering overbought territory. MACD line trades 2.52 points above its signal with a positive histogram, confirming upside momentum persistence. Volume at 129,462 contracts reads 4× the 20-bar average, marking substantial conviction behind the bar. ATR sits at 15.80, typical volatility range for this timeframe. The combination of price above VWAP, short-term EMA support below, and volume expansion suggests institutional participation in the move. RSI momentum and MACD alignment reinforce the near-term upside bias, though the elevated 200 EMA above price warrants observation for potential resistance or pullback context.
