What formed
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.

How this pattern behaves
The common read is whether price returns to the gap and reacts, or fills straight through it. A partial fill that holds is read differently from a full fill that keeps going. We track the historical follow-through rather than assuming either.
Also known as: FVG.
