A bearish fair value gap on the daily chart. Here is where it sits and how this pattern has behaved in the past.

Entry zoneThe reaction level sits around $101 ($101 to $101).
InvalidationThe idea is broken on a close past $103, which is where the pattern fails.
Room to targetThere is room toward $88.89, about 5.0R away.
Two exit rules
Hold for the target

Entry sits near $100, with invalidation at $103. This style holds the full position toward the room near $88.89. A close above $103 ends the idea.

Book early

Entry sits near $100, with invalidation at $103. This style books half near the first target around $98.18 and shifts the stop to the entry ($100), so the remainder carries no risk. The rest targets the room near $88.89.

What formed

A Fair Value Gap formed on SOL 1D. Historically this pattern on SOL 1D resolved toward the first target in 4890% of 47 instances before touching invalidation, with an expectancy of -0.01R per instance. This is descriptive analysis of a chart structure, not personalized guidance.

A fair value gap, or imbalance, is a three-candle pattern where the middle candle moves so fast that the wicks of the first and third candle don't overlap, leaving a small untraded gap in price. Because that range was skipped, price often returns to rebalance it before continuing.

It appears during sharp, one-directional moves, often off news or a liquidity grab. The faster and larger the displacement, the bigger the gap. Gaps that sit alongside an order block or a key level tend to matter more than isolated ones.
