▭ FVG▭ iFVG┄ MSS━ OB━ PWH/PWL▣ Swept

A Class A ▼ forms after the sweep of Asian High at 7840, with price displacing down to 7845.5–7848.25 before the bear FVG (7846.75–7847) printed during London Open. The iFVG (7845.75–7846) sits inside the displacement and references the MSS level at 7845.75, which marks the lower bound of the recent ITH sequence (7845.5 ITH following two ITLs at 7837.75 and 7838.75). Price has swept all key session liquidity—PDH, PDL, Asian Hi/Lo, London Hi/Lo, PM Hi/Lo—creating a clean directional bias into this London killzone. The bear FVG, now above price, presents as unfilled premium following the displacement lower; the iFVG below acts as a potential institutional resting level. HTF structure (60m selected, showing bull bias) remains elevated despite intraday bearish displacement, a tension worth observing—students often conflate short-term Class A setups with HTF direction and miss the asymmetry between session structure and micro bias.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

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

Price sits 12 points above VWAP with the EMA stack aligned bullish—20, 50, and 200 all stacked in order and price trading above all three, anchoring the uptrend posture. RSI at 52.71 registers neutral, centered without overbought or oversold pressure, leaving room for directional movement in either direction. MACD shows the line at 0.78 just below signal at 0.79 with a negative histogram of −0.01, indicating early momentum softening even as price remains structurally supported by the moving averages. Volume at 219 contracts is elevated relative to the 20-bar average of 168, a ratio of 1.30, confirming conviction behind the current price level. ATR at 1.25 reflects low volatility for the timeframe. The setup presents a bull-aligned structure with neutral momentum and above-average volume, though the MACD crossover below signal suggests momentum may be consolidating rather than accelerating into the move.
