Bullish fair value gaps

Fair Value Gaps

A support zone below price

A bullish FVG forms during a strong up move. Candle 1's high sits below candle 3's low, leaving untraded space below current price that often acts as support on a pullback.

The bottom edge is the line in the sand

The bottom of a bullish FVG, candle 1's high, is the deepest reasonable support. A close back below that level suggests the imbalance failed to hold and the bullish case weakens.

Stronger with confluence

Bullish FVGs often line up with other bullish signals nearby, like an order block or a swept low. Trading the confluence beats trading the gap in isolation.

Check yourself

A bullish FVG is most useful as a…

  1. Potential support zone to buy a pullback into correct
  2. Resistance zone to short into
  3. A signal to exit every long position

It marks an untraded zone below price where buyers previously stepped in hard, a logical place for demand to reappear.
