Been noticing a lot of traders asking about this lately, so figured I'd break down something that's been super useful in my analysis - the fvg meaning and how it actually works in real trading.



So here's the thing about Fair Value Gaps. When price moves hard and fast in one direction, it leaves these incomplete zones on your chart between candles. That's basically what an fvg is - a gap where there wasn't enough trading activity to fill the space, creating what we call an incomplete area. It happens because momentum is so strong that price just skips over certain levels without anyone actually trading there.

Why does this matter? Well, the fvg meaning becomes clearer when you understand the supply and demand dynamic. Once that momentum slows and balance gets restored, price tends to come back and fill those gaps. It's like the market has unfinished business in that zone. You see it happen all the time in strong bull or bear markets.

What I've found useful is treating these gaps as potential entry opportunities. When you spot an fvg on your chart, you're essentially looking at where price might return to. Whether it's going up or down, these incomplete zones can signal the next move. That's the practical edge here.

I'm going to keep breaking this down with live examples over the next few posts because honestly, once you start seeing fvg patterns, it changes how you read the market. Currently watching BTC holding around 76,890 and PEPE showing some interesting movement, so there's plenty of real examples to work with right now. Let's see where this goes and I'll share some actual trade setups soon.
BTC-3.4%
PEPE-8.23%
