Fair Value Gap (FVG) calculator
A Fair Value Gap appears when, across three consecutive candles, the first candle's wick and the third's don't overlap — the empty space left between them is the gap. Enter candle 1 and candle 3's prices, and the calculator tells you whether there's a gap, what type, and where its midpoint sits.
How a Fair Value Gap is detected
A bullish FVG appears when candle 3's low sits above candle 1's high — that empty space is a zone where price moved so fast that no trading happened in between, and many traders treat it as a likely return zone before the trend continues. A bearish FVG is the mirror case: candle 3's high sits below candle 1's low. The gap's midpoint (50%) is the most commonly used reference for an entry level inside that zone.
