Been diving deep into Fair Value Gap lately and honestly it's one of those concepts that clicks once you really understand it. So here's my take on what FVG meaning actually represents in the market.
Basically, when price makes a sharp move, it leaves gaps between candles because trades didn't happen in those zones. That's your Fair Value Gap right there - an incomplete area that price skipped over. The market hates imbalance, so eventually price tends to come back and fill those gaps.
What makes this interesting is that FVG happens in both directions. Strong bullish momentum? You get bullish gaps. Sharp selloff? Bearish gaps form. Either way, these gaps become potential entry points because they signal where price might return to.
Why does this matter? Because FVG gaps act like magnets. Once supply and demand balance out, price naturally gravitates back to fill the incomplete zone. If you can spot these gaps early, you've got a roadmap for the next move.
I'm planning to post daily breakdowns on this until it becomes second nature. After we nail down the theory, I'll share real examples from BTC and PEPE charts so you can see exactly how this plays out in live markets. Eventually we'll move into actual entry signals once everyone's caught up.
If you're serious about technical analysis, understanding Fair Value Gap meaning is essential. It's not complicated once you see it in action.
