FVG iFVG MSS OB PWH/PWL Swept
NQ1 60m presents a Class A ▼ after sequential liquidity sweeps across PM, Asian, and London sessions. The displacement spans 29342.25–28754.75; within it sits a bear FVG (28967.75–29036) formed during off-hours. The swing sequence (ITL 28701 → ITH 29364.75 → ITL 28952 → ITL 29397) shows compression into the recent displacement. Price has swept PDL, NDOG CE, Asian Lo, and London Lo/Hi in sequence—a comprehensive liquidity raid—before the current structure formed. The bear FVG at 28967.75–29036 sits unmitigated; multiple iFVGs above it (29145.5–29175.5, 29071–29172.75) mark prior intraday displacement but remain unfilled. The MSS sits at 28952, the prior ITL, which was swept during London close. What stands out for methodology students: observe how the displacement preserved its internal FVG structure while the market swept *around* it—session liquidity (Hi/Lo pairs) moved before the core displacement FVG was addressed. This sequencing often precedes either a retrace into unfilled iFVG above, or a continuation lower to probe fresh lows.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

VWAP EMA 20 EMA 50 EMA 200· RSI(14) MACD Signal
Price sits 261 points below VWAP with all three major EMAs compressed and aligned bearishly, reinforcing downside structure. RSI at 33 signals weak momentum with room to deteriorate further, while MACD trades below its signal line—line at −58 versus signal at −30—with negative histogram expansion indicating accelerating bearish momentum. ATR at 120 points reflects elevated volatility consistent with directional moves; current volume ratio of 1.60× the 20-bar average suggests conviction behind the price action at this bar. The alignment of price below VWAP, the bear-stacked EMA arrangement, weak RSI, and deteriorating MACD histogram together present a cohesive bearish setup with momentum in the direction of the trend. No divergence visible; the indicators confirm rather than contradict the downside posture.
