▭ FVG▭ iFVG┄ MSS━ OB━ PWH/PWL▣ Swept

A Class A bull displacement forms after London high sweep at 7500.5, pushing through the MSS level at 7515.5 into cash session. The swing sequence shows ITL at 7481.5 → ITH at 7500.5 → pullback ITH at 7457.5, establishing the bullish structure. Within the displacement (7478.75–7522.5), a primary FVG sits at 7506–7508.75, created during the move into the London killzone. An iFVG also nests lower (7495–7500.5), formed earlier in the sequence. Price has now swept the London high and continues through cash with the MSS as the mechanical reference. A student observing this structure should note how sweep sequences activate subsequent displacement: each London sweep (hi at 7500.5) fed the bull move, and the FVG preservation above 7506 signals potential continuation mechanics. The PWH at 7540 sits untagged—a natural resistance formed from prior session structure, relevant for understanding displacement limits in this timeframe.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

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

Price sits 24 points above VWAP with all three EMAs stacked bullish (20 above 50 above 200), anchoring upside structure. RSI at 67.41 signals strong momentum without yet entering overbought territory, while MACD line trades above its signal line with a positive histogram of 0.79, confirming directional conviction. Volume registers 2.03× the 20-bar average at 65,140 contracts, showing material participation on the bar. ATR at 9.90 reflects contained volatility relative to recent range expansion, suggesting the move carries definition without excessive intrabar chop. The confluence of elevated volume, positive MACD separation, and price holding above the VWAP and EMA structure points to sustained bullish momentum, though RSI proximity to 70 warrants observation for any early momentum fatigue signals.
