Two questions before you trust any gap:
What did the move break? (A close beyond the level, not a wick.)
What is still resting below it? (Stops under the gap can pull price through.)
That’s the context we’re building into https://t.co/g8uyqZAOax
Two FVGs. Same size. Which one matters?
One formed inside a range. Nothing was broken.
One formed when price closed above the previous high.
The gap is only as good as the move that made it.
37 seconds 👇
Price came back to your FVG. Now what?
Most traders watch how deep it goes. Edge, 50%, full fill.
Depth is not the signal. The close is.
Same candle, four outcomes, 34 seconds 👇
The part most people skip: an FVG is not a magnet.
Price doesn’t have to come back. The same move that fills one gap can leave a new one that never gets touched.
Mark the gap, then read the context. That’s what we’re building at https://t.co/g8uyqZAOax
Why does price come back to an FVG?
Because the move that created it was one-sided. Buyers ran out of sellers, price jumped, and almost nothing traded in between.
40 seconds, one concept 👇
A 3R target.
Resistance just 1R above entry.
Two previous rejections.
The ratio looks attractive. What does the chart say about the path?
Don’t just measure the reward. Check what stands in the way.
#PriceAction#TradingEducation
The trade reaches target, You still get stopped out.
Why?
Because moving to breakeven can feel “safe” even when the original setup is still completely valid.
A normal pullback doesn’t care where you entered.
One of the easiest places to get chopped up is the middle of a range.
Price can look bullish, then rotate down. Look bearish, then push straight back up.
Sometimes the problem isn’t the setup.
It’s the location.
#PriceAction#Trading
Three levels on the chart.
Only one had the clearest history.
It looked like B.
But once price closed through B, the read changed.
A level isn’t important just because it worked before.
What matters is how price behaves now.
This is one of the easiest traps to fall into after a breakout.
You see price running without you and suddenly feel like you have to get in.
Sometimes the better decision is simple:
Wait for a new setup — or let it go.
Being right about direction doesn’t automatically make it a good trade.
If you enter after most of the move already happened, you may be risking a lot just to capture what’s left.
Right direction ≠ good entry.
A trend can still look bullish while quietly getting weaker.
Higher lows are still holding.
But every push up achieves less.
That matters.
The structure break may confirm the change.
The weakness often appears before it.
#PriceAction#MarketStructure#TradingEducation
A retest is not confirmation.
Price breaking resistance and coming back to touch it doesn’t automatically make it a buy.
Break = context
Retest = location
Reaction = information
The important part is what price does after it reaches the level.
#Algovistra#trading
A level can reject price 3 times and still be getting weaker.
The first rejection pushes price far away.
The second does less.
By the third test, price barely leaves the level before returning.
The level is holding.
The reaction is weakening.
That distinction matters.

The important part is what happens next.
If sellers actually take control and price continues away from the level, the rejection has more weight.
If price immediately reclaims it, that “perfect rejection” meant very little.
Confirmation > prediction.
A wick above a key level + a close back below does not automatically mean short.
That’s where a lot of traders enter too early.
Wick → Close → Follow-through
Let the market prove the breakout failed before treating it like one.
Your stop can remain untouched while your trade thesis is already weakening.
Don’t only ask, “Has my stop been hit?”
Ask, “Is the reason for this trade still true?”
#RiskManagement#Trading
A wick shows where price explored.
A close shows where it held.
Follow-through shows whether the reaction has strength.
Read all three before interpreting the break.
