A fair value gap (FVG) is a three-bar pattern from ICT / smart-money analysis. A bullish FVG forms when `low[t] > high[t-2]` — the middle bar (t-1) drove price so hard that the wicks of t and t-2 never meet, leaving an unfilled window. A bearish FVG is the mirror: `high[t] < low[t-2]`.
FVGs are read as imbalances: liquidity was skipped, so the market is biased to revisit and 'fill' the gap before the move continues. They are commonly used as pullback entry zones inside the prevailing trend.
Not every gap fills, and FVGs in low-volume sessions are often statistical noise. Filter by trend context and volume before treating them as actionable.
Fórmula
bullish FVG: low_t > high_{t-2} → zone = [high_{t-2}, low_t]
bearish FVG: high_t < low_{t-2} → zone = [high_t, low_{t-2}]Ejemplo
Bar t-2 high = 50,100; bar t-1 closes at 50,800 on heavy volume; bar t low = 50,400. Since 50,400 > 50,100, an FVG opens between 50,100 and 50,400 — a likely pullback target.
