← All signalsA bullish displacement forms off the Asian session high sweep at 2791.6, with price currently seated above the MSS level at 2812.1. The prior swing sequence shows compression between ITL 2844.3 and ITH 2873.7, followed by a sharp sell-off that swept the Asian high and created fresh displacement upward into the New York AM killzone. A bull FVG sits at 2789–2792.3, now partially filled; nested iFVGs at 2790.7–2793.9 and 2790.3–2791.9 mark the internal structure of that same zone. The current candle sits above the MSS, with the PWL at 2788 establishing a near support reference. HTF bias (60m selected) remains bullish across all timeframes. Students observe how the sweep of the Asian high created the displacement but did not form a new Class A ▲ in the traditional sense—instead, the FVG/iFVG stack within the displacement zone becomes the structural reference for continuity. The MSS level now acts as a filter for directional intent; breaks below 2809–2810 would signal potential shift in the immediate narrative. Price sits 24.58 points above VWAP, with the 20-EMA in support beneath the close while the 50-EMA resides at 2800.35—creating a sandwich between the shorter and intermediate moving averages. The 200-EMA at 2831.23 sits above price, signaling the longer-term structure remains bearish despite this localized strength. RSI at 68.02 reflects strong momentum without yet reaching overbought territory, while MACD shows the line at 0.98 trading above its signal at −2.09 with a positive histogram of 3.07, indicating upside momentum is engaged. Volume at 4633 contracts represents a 4.04× print against the 20-bar average of 1147—substantial conviction on the firing bar. ATR at 9.30 points reflects moderate volatility for this timeframe. The configuration presents a short-term momentum impulse with price above both the 20 and 50-EMAs and VWAP while the 200-EMA overhead creates a structural headwind; momentum indicators confirm the immediate directional push without extreme overbought signals.
