JPY 15-min displays a Class A ▼ after a PDH sweep into the cash killzone. Price rallied from an ITL of 0.006243 through successive ITH at 0.006452, then displaced lower, sweeping PDH and London session liquidity before collapsing into the Asian and early-London lows. The FVG spanning 0.0064055–0.006406 sits nested inside the displacement zone (0.0063955–0.006417), positioned within the compressed premium structure that formed during the PM session spike.
Current price sits near the MSS level at 0.0064005, marking the fair-value reference point between the prior displacement extremes. The setup presents after liquidity across all major session breaks—PDH/PDL, Asian highs/lows, London highs/lows, and PM highs/lows—has been cleared. A key observation for methodology students: when multiple session liquidity pools exhaust within a single displacement, the resulting FVG often becomes a rebalancing anchor. Price action returning into this FVG typically signals whether the Class A ▼ will extend or respire, particularly as Asian cash markets reopen.

Traditional TA perspective
VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume
━ VWAP━ EMA 20━ EMA 50┄ EMA 200·━ RSI(14)━ MACD━ Signal
Price sits at VWAP with the 20 and 50 EMAs below, while the 200 EMA remains above—a mixed stack structure that reflects competing directional pressure. RSI at 41.21 signals weak momentum without yet reaching oversold territory, suggesting neither conviction nor exhaustion. MACD shows the line below its signal with a negative histogram, confirming momentum absence at the bar. Volume at 3287 represents a 15% premium over the 20-bar average, indicating average participation rather than spike conviction. ATR near zero reflects minimal volatility expansion. The setup reads as a consolidation phase: price is anchored near VWAP between separated moving averages, momentum indicators are subdued but not deeply bearish, and volume is present but not elevated. The absence of directional alignment across the EMA stack, coupled with RSI and MACD both in neutral-to-weak territory, suggests a pause in trend rather than an emerging impulse.
