▭ FVG▭ iFVG┄ MSS━ OB━ PWH/PWL▣ Swept

A Class A bullish displacement forms after the sweep of London and PM highs around 7722–7728, with price now printing 7750+ in New York AM killzone. The displacement spans 7720.75 to 7762.25, containing an internal FVG (iFVG) at 7753.25–7754.5 that formed during the earlier Asian session. The primary bullish FVG sits lower, at 7741.5–7746.5, created on the retracement into the current structure. The swing sequence shows an ITL at 7698, followed by ITH at 7722, then a higher ITH at 7758.25, with a recent pullback ITH at 7739. Price sits above the MSS level of 7750.75. Notable: nearly all session liquidity—PDL, Asian lo/hi, London hi, PM hi/lo—has been swept, leaving the iFVG near 7753 as potential resistance and the lower bullish FVG as a resting zone. A student observing this setup might track whether price respects the MSS as dynamic support or if the iFVG acts as a reversal point given the density of swept liquidity above.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

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

Price sits 29.72 points above VWAP with the 20 and 50 EMAs both trading above the 200, though the stack is mixed rather than cleanly stacked. RSI is at 72.89—deep in overbought territory—while MACD shows the line above signal with a positive 2.31 histogram, indicating upside momentum persistence. Volume at 35,435 is elevated at 1.71× the 20-bar average, suggesting conviction behind the move. ATR at 10.37 reflects low-to-moderate volatility for this timeframe. The formation presents a tension: overbought RSI typically precedes pullback risk, yet MACD remains constructive and volume supports the bars. Price is holding above both short- and intermediate-term moving averages while trading above VWAP, anchoring the upside structure. A consolidation or mild retest of the VWAP zone would align with momentum moderation without breaking trend posture.
