A fair value gap is an imbalance left by a violent move, defined as the gap between the first candle's high and the third candle's low (or vice versa). Markets tend to revisit and 'fill' these gaps, so an unfilled FVG can act as a magnet and a reaction zone. It pairs powerfully with an order block at the same level.
