← All signalsA bull displacement forms after sweeping both Asian Hi (29145) and NWOG CE (29154) liquidity, with price traveling from 28926 to 29419.75. The swing sequence shows an ITH at 29782 (prior), a subsequent ITL at 29142.5, then a recovery to 29486.75 ITH, followed by a pullback into 29447 ITH — establishing a compressed, choppy sequence typical of New York AM killzone price action.
The primary FVG (29130–29171.75) sits within the displacement and has been partially filled; an iFVG (29144.5–29169) also resides in this zone. The MSS level anchors at 29274.5, creating structural resistance above current price. Within New York AM, price is consolidating near a confluent iFVG cluster after the Asian liquidity sweep — a setup where a student observes how iFVGs formed during displacement often serve as micro-retracement targets before continuation attempts. The hourly bias remains bullish across 15m, 30m, and 60m, yet the compressed ITH sequence suggests price is working through indecision before the next directional impulse. Price sits 275 points above VWAP at 29408, with the 20 and 50-period EMAs both underneath price, though the 200 sits above—a mixed stack that reflects transition rather than clean directional conviction. RSI at 66.61 registers strong momentum without overbought extremes, while MACD shows the line well above its signal at +21.76 versus −5.35, with a positive histogram of 27.11 indicating sustained bullish momentum. Volume at 26,124 contracts represents 3.67x the 20-bar average, affirming conviction behind the move. ATR at 101.37 points reflects elevated volatility typical of this timeframe. The setup combines above-VWAP price action, aligned short-term EMAs, moderately strong RSI, and MACD confirmation paired with outsized volume—a configuration where momentum mechanics are reinforcing the upside posture, though the elevated EMA 200 suggests longer-term resistance overhead.
