NY AM delivered the true DISTRIBUTION phase: after sweeping sell-side liquidity to 731.65 at 10:45 ET (the day's real Judas Swing), price displaced violently through London High 738.26 at 12:16 ET on a 14,481-volume 1-minute candle, leaving the parent bullish 15m FVG at 735.96-737.21 and a fresh 1m continuation FVG at 736.83-738.745 (from the 13:11 ET follow-through leg). Price is currently consolidating just under 739.5, digesting the move ahead of the NY PM re-engagement. EXPECTED SCENARIO FOR NY PM (1:30-4:00 PM ET): once the post-lunch algo restarts at 1:30, expect continuation toward the buy-side draw on liquidity — PDH 745.90, then the NDOG shadow zone 747.04-747.33, then PWH 748.34. Watch for a shallow retracement into the nested 1m FVG (736.83-738.745) or the deeper 15m origin FVG (735.96-737.21) as the low-risk continuation entry; a body close and hold above 739.64 with fresh displacement would confirm the algo is running the bullish program without needing a full retrace (one-sided spooling exception). Do not chase — if price is already through the FVG zones by 1:30, wait for a nested 5m/1m MSS+FVG at the next pullback.

a candle body closing below 735.96 or a displaced close below london_low 737.11 kills the near-term bullish continuation and forces a stand-aside reassessment.

if price chops sideways between 737.20-739.60 without displacement by ~2:15 PM ET, NY PM may be muted — preserve capital and wait for EOD MOC positioning (3:40-4:00 PM) instead. No trade is being taken this scan: current time (1:16 PM ET) sits inside the 1:00-1:30 PM post-lunch dead zone, outside any active Kill Zone.
