@cryptotrading_insights: ICT Fair Value Gap (FVG) & Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) | How to Trade Market Imbalances Fair Value Gap (FVG) & Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) | ICT SMC Concepts A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a three-candle imbalance that forms when price moves aggressively in one direction, leaving an area where little or no trading activity occurred. ICT traders consider these gaps as inefficient price delivery areas that often attract future price retracements. Types of FVG Bullish FVG Forms during an upward displacement. Gap exists between the high of Candle 1 and the low of Candle 3. Price often retraces into the gap before continuing higher. Bearish FVG Forms during a downward displacement. Gap exists between the low of Candle 1 and the high of Candle 3. Price often retraces into the gap before continuing lower. How to Trade FVG 1. Identify the higher-timeframe bias. 2. Wait for a displacement move that creates an FVG. 3. Allow price to retrace into the gap. 4. Look for lower-timeframe confirmation such as MSS or CISD. 5. Enter from the FVG. 6. Place Stop Loss below/above the gap. 7. Target liquidity, opposing FVGs, or key PD Arrays. Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) An Inverse Fair Value Gap (IFVG) is a Fair Value Gap that fails and then changes its role. When price breaks through an FVG and closes beyond it, the gap can act as support or resistance in the opposite direction. Bullish IFVG A bearish FVG gets violated. Price closes above the gap. The gap becomes support. Traders look for buying opportunities on retracements. Bearish IFVG A bullish FVG gets violated. Price closes below the gap. The gap becomes resistance. Traders look for selling opportunities on retracements. How to Trade IFVG 1. Mark a valid FVG. 2. Wait for price to break through and invalidate the gap. 3. Confirm a market structure shift (MSS). 4. Wait for price to revisit the IFVG. 5. Enter in the direction of the new trend. 6. Place Stop Loss beyond the IFVG. 7. Target external liquidity or the next key price objective. Key Difference FVG: Trades with the original displacement direction. IFVG: Trades after the original FVG fails and flips its role. A properly identified FVG or IFVG, combined with liquidity, market structure, and higher-timeframe bias, can provide some of the highest-probability ICT SMC trade setups. #ICT #SMC #FVG #IFVG #InnerCircleTrader
