▭ FVG▭ iFVG┄ MSS━ OB━ PWH/PWL▣ Swept

A Class A ▼ forms after the sweep of Asian Lo at 29044.5, displacing down to 28954.5 and creating an FVG between 29037.25–29039.75 inside the displacement. The swing sequence shows an ITL at 29016.5 (MSS level) followed by a failed ITH attempt at 29434.75, which reversed into the current downward displacement. Price has already swept substantial liquidity—PDH, PDL, Asian Hi/Lo, London Hi/Lo, PM Hi/Lo, NDOG/NWOG—collapsing the structure into the London Open killzone. The iFVG sits just above the current lows, marking where the displacement terminated. The educational observation: Notice how the MSS at 29016.5 acted as both a retracement floor and an anchor for the subsequent liquidity hunt. When price failed to establish a higher ITH after testing 29434.75, the reversal down was directional and efficient, sweeping multiple session opens and previous day structures in sequence. This is textbook displacement logic—each sweep compounds momentum into the direction of the break.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

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

Price sits 105 points below VWAP with the EMA stack in bearish alignment—20, 50, and 200 all stacked downward and price beneath all three. RSI at 31.87 signals weak momentum, deep in oversold territory but not yet at extreme lows. MACD shows the line trading below its signal at −15.12 versus −9.63, with a negative histogram of −5.49, confirming downside momentum without immediate reversal signal. ATR at 39.83 reflects moderate volatility for the timeframe. Volume at 3434 contracts registers 2.28× the 20-bar average, indicating heavy participation into the decline. The combination of a stacked bear structure, price rejection below key moving averages, weak RSI, and MACD negative alignment suggests sellers have maintained control through this bar. The elevated volume underscores conviction behind the downward move rather than exhaustion.
