The Trader’s Blueprint: Reading Charts, Market Structure, and Analysis
📍 Understanding Price Inefficiencies & Imbalances
Fair value gaps (FVGs) occur when price moves aggressively in one direction, leaving an imbalance with little to no opposing orders. These gaps create areas where price is likely to return before continuing its trend.
📍 How to Use FVGs for Sniper Entries
Identify large, impulsive moves where price didn’t trade back.
Wait for price to retrace into the FVG before entering a trade.
Combine FVGs with confluences like order blocks or supply & demand zones for higher accuracy.
📍 Why These Gaps Are Often Filled Before Price Trends Continue
Institutions use these inefficiencies to execute large orders.
Price naturally seeks liquidity, so it tends to revisit these areas.
Smart traders wait for price to fill the gap before taking a high-probability trade.
🔑 Key Takeaway
If you’re blindly entering trades without understanding FVGs, you’re missing out on the cleanest sniper entries. Watch how price respects these gaps, and you’ll instantly see why institutions use them to fill their positions before big moves happen.
