If you’ve ever wondered how institutions seem to “know” where price will revert before major moves, the answer often lies in Fair Value Gaps.
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.
Understanding the Anatomy of an FVG
An FVG forms when the market displaces violently in one direction, preventing the opposite side from offering liquidity at fair value.
The Institutional Logic Behind FVGs
This creates natural magnets: price will typically revisit these imbalances to test, mitigate, or confirm order flow.
The FVG Trading Model Used by Elite Traders
Look for Strong Institutional Moves
Before an FVG matters, there must be displacement—strong, directional movement marked by high volume or momentum.
2. Mark the Gap
Highlight the zone between the prior candle’s high and the next candle’s low (or vice versa).
3. Wait for the Retracement
The best entries occur when price revisits the FVG, taps into it, and shows signs of rejection or continuation.
Bias Before Execution
An FVG entry click here 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.
The Result?
Fair Value Gaps give traders a rare glimpse into algorithmic intent.
Combine FVG logic with market structure, liquidity pools, and volume confirmation, and you have one of the strongest frameworks available to retail traders today—one that aligns perfectly with the advanced methodologies taught inside Plazo Sullivan Roche Capital.
FVGs aren’t signals—they’re context.
And once you learn their language, the market starts to speak back.
