Fair Value Gaps represent one of the few repeatable patterns that consistently expose the imbalance driving institutional pricing.
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.
What Exactly Is a Fair Value Gap?
An FVG forms when the market displaces violently in one direction, preventing the opposite side from offering liquidity at fair value.
Why Smart Money Loves FVGs
FVGs expose where large players entered the market with force.
A Simple, Professional FVG Workflow
1. Identify the Displacement
Displacement confirms that institutional activity caused the imbalance.
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.
