Displacement

Smart Money

Conviction you can see

Displacement = a violent, full-bodied move that BREAKS structure and leaves FVGs behind. It separates real institutional intent from drift. No displacement, no conviction, no trade.

Check yourself

Displacement matters because it shows…

  1. Volatility for fun
  2. Urgent institutional participation, they couldn't wait correct
  3. Retail panic only

Size that must fill NOW moves price violently. That urgency is the footprint worth following.
