← All signalsA Class A bullish displacement formed after the London high sweep at 2829.7, with price now trading into the upper reaches of the 2792.9–2858.7 range. The swing sequence shows a lower ITL (2728.4) followed by consecutive ITH prints (2823.2, then 2879.7 potential target), confirming directional structure. A bullish FVG sits at 2809.3–2814.8 within the displacement; this gap remains unmitigated and sits below the current price action, providing a logical mitigation level should retracement occur. The iFVG (2810.2–2818) overlaps the primary FVG zone. We're in the cash killzone following extensive liquidity sweeps—PDH, London high, PM high, and the recent LONDON LO sweep at 2794.7 all precede this advance. The MSS at 2829.7 acted as a reference for London's high sweep and now sits within the current displacement. A student watching this setup should observe how price behaves relative to the PWH (2896.2)—whether the next ITH builds above or stalls before that level, as this determines whether the displacement remains valid or enters compression before another directional leg. Price sits 27 points above VWAP with the 20 and 50 EMAs in uptrend alignment, though the 200 EMA sits slightly below the shorter averages, creating a mixed stack that lacks clean higher-timeframe confirmation. RSI reads 70.81—deep into overbought territory—while MACD maintains its line above signal with a positive histogram at 1.05, suggesting momentum hasn't yet rolled over despite the elevated momentum reading. Volume at the firing bar reaches 36,307 contracts, a 4.3× multiple over the 20-bar average, indicating conviction behind the move. ATR at 15.05 points reflects above-average volatility for the timeframe. The setup presents a tension: strong near-term momentum and volume expansion paired with overbought RSI and a muddled longer-period EMA structure. Price sits extended from VWAP, and the momentum indicators—while still positive—are approaching levels where exhaustion signals often emerge.
