Higher timeframe FVGs carry more weight

Fair Value Gaps

Bigger timeframe, bigger footprint

A 4-hour or daily FVG represents a much bigger imbalance than a 1-minute FVG. More capital, more participants, more consequence behind the move that created it.

Zoom in once price arrives

A common approach is to mark the FVG on a higher timeframe first, then drop to a lower timeframe (a more zoomed-in chart — 5m instead of 1h) once price arrives there to look for a precise, tighter entry.

Stacked timeframes react hardest

A small lower-timeframe FVG sitting inside a much larger higher-timeframe FVG often reacts hardest, since both zones agree on the same untraded territory.
