Inverse Fair Value Gaps (iFVG)

About this book

Inverse Fair Value Gaps (iFVG) starts with ordinary Fair Value Gap geometry and asks what changes when the original imbalance loses its role and price establishes itself on the opposite side. The useful information is the failed expectation, not merely a rectangle changing color. The book defines bullish and bearish iFVGs, then connects inversion to market structure, liquidity sweeps, displacement, premium/discount and dealing-range location.

Multi-timeframe analysis leads into three practical entry models, stops, invalidation, targets, risk and confluence without indicator overload. Four market environments, false iFVGs, failure modes, backtesting, a complete process and eight case studies keep the framework testable. FVG, iFVG, MSS and BOS are treated as practitioner terms whose exact conventions must be stated rather than assumed universal.

What you will learn

• Define ordinary FVG geometry before deciding whether an imbalance has truly inverted.
• Read an iFVG as a failed prior expectation plus new observable price behavior.
• Combine iFVGs with structure, liquidity, displacement and premium/discount without treating confluence as certainty.
• Compare three entry models with explicit stops, invalidation, targets and risk.
• Backtest false iFVGs and failure modes as carefully as successful examples.
