Fair Value Gaps: The Blueprint Institutions Don’t Want You To Know

Wiki Article

Among all advanced price-action concepts, Fair Value Gaps stand out as the purest window into where smart money leaves its footprints.

Plazo Sullivan’s methodology emphasizes that Fair Value Gaps act as magnets—not because retail traders watch them, but because institutions must mitigate the imbalance they caused.

Understanding the Anatomy of an FVG

An FVG forms when the market displaces violently in one direction, preventing the opposite side from offering liquidity at fair value.

The Institutional Logic Behind FVGs

Because institutions require massive liquidity, they often leave gaps behind due to the size of their orders.

A Simple, Professional FVG Workflow
1. Identify the Displacement

Before an FVG matters, there must be displacement—strong, directional movement marked by high volume or momentum.

Outline the Exact Imbalance Zone

This is the region where price is likely to return.

Patience Creates Precision

Institutions use these pullbacks to reload positions at favorable pricing.

4. Align With Market Structure

An FVG entry aligned with higher-timeframe direction is exponentially more effective.

5. Use FVGs as Targets

Just as price gravitates back to FVGs for entries, it also moves toward FVGs when they act as future magnets.

The Result?

They reveal where institutional orders entered, where they left inefficiencies, and where price is likely to return.

Combine FVG logic with market structure, liquidity pools, and volume confirmation, and you have one of the strongest frameworks available to retail traders today—one that aligns perfectly with the advanced methodologies taught inside Plazo Sullivan Roche Capital.

FVGs aren’t signals—they’re context.
And once you learn website their language, the market starts to speak back.
