IFVG

IFVG (Inversion Fair Value Gap): This is an inversion of a traditional Fair Value Gap (FVG). When a bullish FVG is closed below or a bearish FVG is closed above, it becomes an IFVG, acting as either resistance or support.

Wait for a Liquidity Sweep on the opposite side of the expected move. If you’re looking for a bullish move, wait for sell side liquidity to be swept, and vice versa for a bearish move.

Enter trades when the price closes above or below the IFVG, depending on whether you’re looking for a bullish or bearish setup.

We all know that not all IFVGs are equal; we should understand that we have certain conditions to consider an IFVG as a high probability IFVG, right?

• Clear, singular FVGs before the Inversion Fair Value Gap happens.
• Liquidity grab or Liquidity sweeps before the IFVG forms, enhancing the likelihood of the move.
• A context where the market has already shown directional bias, especially if higher time frame analysis supports the move.

IFVG with HTF Analysis

Let’s talk about this. As we all know, we are looking for an HTF PD Array to trade an LTF MMXM. So, basically a reaction from a Bearish 4-hour SIBI will be an LTF MMSM with a clear 1st stage of distribution and 2nd stage of re-distribution.

Also, we can use potential HTF ranges as our HTF level. What do I mean by this?

With ICT Trading, we can see that this tool provides us with a potential range based on the selected time frame. If we see minor manipulation was provided right below the candle open, this will be a signal of WEAK manipulation and not a completed range.

This will be another condition for us where we look for an IFVG to trade, and this will be a case where we will be interested not in a major Liquidity sweep but in a local one to complete the candle range.
