A Class A displacement forms after a comprehensive liquidity sweep across all session-relevant levels—PDH, PDL, Asian high/low, London high/low, and PM extremes. The bullish move originates from the ITL at 72.605, displaces through 73.04–74.975, and closes above the MSS at 74.375. The FVG sits between 74.04 and 74.135, positioned well within the displacement zone and now above the current price action, making it an iFVG in the Asian killzone context. The swing sequence shows a clear impulsive structure: ITL (72.605) → ITH (75.135) → ITL (72.82) → ITH (75.5), with price currently consolidating after printing the higher high. The MSS at 74.375 acts as a provisional equilibrium level after the sweep. One observation for methodology students: notice how the displacement does *not* extend to fill the entire FVG immediately. The gap sits unfilled above current price—a common pattern where buyers pause at the MSS before deciding whether to drive further or recede. The presence of all liquidity sources in the sweep list signals aggressive institutional participation, but the compact nature of the FVG relative to total displacement suggests selective continuation rather than reckless impulse.

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume
━ VWAP━ EMA 20━ EMA 50┄ EMA 200·━ RSI(14)━ MACD━ Signal
Price sits 0.78 points above VWAP at 74.92, with the 20 and 50 EMAs nested tightly below near 73.85–73.88, though the 200 EMA at 74.19 sits just beneath current levels, creating a compressed EMA structure. RSI at 68.98 signals strong momentum without overbought extremes, while MACD shows the line above signal with a positive 0.14 histogram, confirming upside conviction. Volume at 1881 contracts registers 1.60× the 20-bar average, demonstrating elevated participation at this level. ATR at 0.43 reflects modest volatility for the timeframe. The setup presents price in a controlled uptrend stance—above its short-term moving averages and anchored above VWAP—with momentum aligned and volume supporting the firing bar. The tightness of the EMA stack and proximity of the 200 to price suggest limited overhead clearance in the near term.
