I have noticed that many traders are starting to understand the importance of FVG in market analysis. Fair Value Gap is not something complicated if you take the time to understand the structure.
Basically, FVG is formed by three candles with a certain configuration. The first candle is less important, it can be anything. What really matters is what happens afterward.
The second candle must be expansive, with a body larger than the maximum of the first candle in the optimistic scenario. Or the opposite, depending on the direction. This is the key – this candle shows the market's intention.
The third candle is decisive. It can be expansive or consolidating, but its minimum must surpass the maximum of the first candle (in the optimistic scenario) or the opposite. This is what differentiates a valid FVG from a simple fluctuation.
I see many of you asking me about these concepts, and I want to clarify something important. None of you are forced to follow others' ideas blindly. You need to experiment, see what works in the real market for you. FVG is a tool, not a magic method.
If you're having trouble understanding these structures, we can discuss. These concepts are fundamental if you want to read the market seriously. We will bring more useful content in the coming days, so stay tuned.
