In his 2025 mentorship program, Inner Circle Trader (ICT) introduced a novel category of Fair Value Gap known as the Implied Fair Value Gap (IFVG).

What is the Implied Fair Value Gap

The Implied Fair Value Gap (IFVG) is a unique three-candlestick pattern that distinguishes itself from the conventional Fair Value Gap. In the IFVG pattern, the central candle exhibits a substantial body, flanked by candles on either side that possess overlapping wicks.

Criteria for Implied fvg ict:

1. Presence of a large-range candle.
2. Absence of a conventional FVG.
3. Long wicks on both sides with overlapping.

Steps to identify Implied FVG:

1. Find the midpoint or consequent encroachment of each wick
2. The space b/w the 50% mark of each wick is the implied fvg
3. Extend it out in time
