Fair Value Gaps and Breakaway Gaps

A Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a three-candle price imbalance where price moves aggressively in one direction, creating a gap between the wicks of the first and third candle.

How to Identify an FVG:

1. The second candle must have a large body, showing strong displacement.
2. 
   
3. The wick of the third candle must not overlap with the wick of the first candle, leaving an inefficiency.
4. The third candle should not close beyond the high (bullish) or low (bearish) of the second candle.

Usage:

? Internal Range Liquidity – Price often retraces to test FVGs before continuing.

? Confluence for Entries – FVGs inside a higher timeframe point of interest (POI) strengthen trade setups.

Breakaway Gaps

A Breakaway Gap is a specific type of FVG where the third candle closes above the high (bullish) or below the low (bearish) of the second candle, confirming a shift in order flow.

How to Identify a Breakaway Gap:

1. The first two candles form an FVG structure (large-bodied second candle with an imbalance).
2. The third candle closes beyond the high (bullish) or low (bearish) of the second candle, confirming strong momentum.
3. This gap often acts as a Momentum of a continuation and draw on liquidity since it is likely to be filled if the market has pulled back to it.

Usage:

? Momentum Confirmation – A breakaway gap signals strong smart money commitment.

? Continuation Entries – If price retests the gap, it offers a high-probability that it will be filled.

Key Difference:

? FVGs → Price inefficiencies that are likely to get revisited. The third candle does not close above the second candle’s high/below the second candle’s low.

? Breakaway Gaps → A stronger FVG where the third candle closes beyond the second candle’s high/low, confirming directional intent.
