Mastering Fair Value Gaps: Market Inefficiencies
Unlock the power of Fair Value Gaps (FVG) and the advanced Inversion FVG (iFVG). Understand why these price imbalances occur and how to use them as high-precision entry magnets.
What is a Fair Value Gap?
An FVG represents a literal state of 'disorder' in the market. It occurs when aggressive institutional buying or selling creates a 3-candle sequence where price moves so fast it leaves an unfilled area of liquidity.
Balanced Price Action (BPR)
In a healthy market, price moves efficiently. A Balanced Price Range occurs when two opposing FVGs overlap. This signifies that the market has rebalanced the supply/demand equation at that specific level.
The Magnets of Trading
FVGs act as magnets. Price *must* eventually return to these gaps to satisfy resting orders. Professional traders wait for price to re-enter these gaps before looking for an entry trigger.
Advanced: Inversion FVG (iFVG)
When a standard FVG is 'disrespected' (price closes through it with momentum), it flips its role. A failed Bullish FVG becomes a powerful Bearish Inversion resistance level. This is often an early signal of a major trend reversal.
Stop Staring at the Screen
"Spotting every single FVG and identifying which ones are valid for retests is a full-time job."
Advanced Inbalance Detection
Our IXTradingHub Suite doesn't just show FVGs—it understands them. The indicator automatically plots Fair Value Gaps, highlights Inversion FVGs when they break, and identifies Balanced Price Ranges. This allows you to focus only on the zones that actually matter.
