What is an IFVG?

An IFVG (inverse fair value gap) is a concept from ICT and smart money trading.

First, what's a fair value gap?

A fair value gap (FVG) is a three-candle imbalance: the wicks of the first and third candles don't overlap, leaving a gap where price moved quickly in one direction.

What makes it "inverse"?

When price later trades through an FVG and closes beyond it, the gap is considered invalidated. An inverse FVG is that same zone flipping roles: a former bullish gap acting as resistance, or a former bearish gap acting as support.

How traders use IFVGs

• As a confirmation after a liquidity sweep and shift in structure
• As an entry area when price retests the flipped zone
• Alongside higher-timeframe context, so the trade isn't fighting a larger gap

IFVG Elite Pro automates the tracking of these zones across 9 timeframes and grades the setups.
