Imbalance, or Fair Value Gap (FVG), is a "gap" on the chart where price suddenly jumped up or down due to a strong imbalance between buyers and sellers. The market skipped a zone where there was no normal trading — like a hole that price loves to "fill" later! 🕳️💥
This is one of the key concepts of Smart Money (SMC) — market makers leave such zones, and price often returns to close them.
How to find imbalances?
Look for a 3-candle pattern:
Large impulse candle (second one).
High of the first candle and Low of the third do not intersect — there is a gap zone (FVG).
Bullish FVG (upward) — wait for a pullback down into the zone.
Bearish FVG (downward) — wait for a pullback up.
How to use it in trading on Binance?
Entry on pullback: Price returns to FVG — enter in the direction of the trend (long after a bullish FVG, short after a bearish one).
Take-profit: Next level, order block, or previous high/low.
Stop-loss: Beyond the FVG zone (1-2% below/above).
Filters: Only in trend + with confirmation (volume, delta).
In the crypto (BTC, ETH, altcoins) FVG is working fire — the market is volatile, gaps are filled frequently! 🚀
Stacked imbalances (multiple in a row) — super signal for continuation!
Don't trade based on FVG alone — combine with order blocks and liquidity. Risk management is mandatory! This is not a holy grail, but a powerful tool for profit. 💰
