MES1! forms a bull Class A after sweeping the Daily Low at 7710.25 in the London killzone. The displacement runs 7707–7710, with a bull FVG nested at 7708–7708.5 and an iFVG (bear) slightly above it at 7708–7708.75. The swing sequence shows an ITL at 7703.5 followed by ITH at 7708.75, then ITL at 7705.25, and most recently ITH at 7715.75. Price now sits above the MSS level of 7709.5 after this sweep sequence completed the DL liquidation. The 60-minute bias reads bull despite a 30-minute bear regime, anchoring HTF confluence. Cash session killzone context applies here. Students should observe how the bull displacement following the DL sweep correlates with the nested FVG—it represents a clean mechanical structure where displacement fills the void while the iFVG sits unmet below, a classic setup for observing whether subsequent retracement respects that inner void or if momentum sustains above the MSS.

Traditional TA perspective

VWAP / EMA stack / RSI / MACD / Volume

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

Price sits 4.94 points below VWAP at 7709.75, while the EMA stack remains tightly clustered and above price, with the 20 and 50 EMAs sandwiching the 200 at 7708 level—a mixed but upward-biased structure. RSI at 65.48 indicates strong momentum without yet entering overbought territory. MACD shows the line above signal with a positive 0.10 histogram, reflecting continued bullish momentum if modest in magnitude. ATR at 0.70 points reflects low volatility for this contract, consistent with a consolidation phase. Volume at 304 is notably heavy—3.11× the 20-bar average—suggesting conviction behind price action at this juncture. The combination of elevated volume, RSI momentum, and positive MACD histogram offers technical confirmation, though price's position slightly below VWAP and the EMA cluster's tight arrangement suggest the setup remains contested between buyers and the short-term resistance level.
