Inversion gap — Trading Glossary

A fair value gap that price has closed straight through, so it flips roles: a failed bullish gap tends to act as resistance, a failed bearish gap as support.

It needs a candle body to close beyond the gap — a wick through is only a test. Where a failed bullish gap overlaps a new bearish gap, the overlap is a common entry zone for a sell.

Also called: inversion gaps, inversion fvg, ifvg, inverse fair value gap.

The setup from the "looks like a buy" Reel: a bullish gap that price closes straight through, the flip from support to resistance, the new bearish gap on top of it, and where the entry, stop and target go — plus the honest answer to "take it every single time".
