When Former Support or Resistance Switches Sides
When former support or resistance switches roles.
Before you start: Builds directly on Fair Value Gap — read that first.
Part of the MY EDGE framework — refined through thousands of hours of chart study.
What happens when an FVG fails to hold its original direction? It doesn't become useless — it switches roles. An Inversion Fair Value Gap is an FVG that has lost its original directional expectation and become a support or resistance level. The reversal reflects a change in order flow, not the existence of the gap itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Inversion Fair Value Gap (IFVG)?⌄
An IFVG is a Fair Value Gap that has lost its original directional expectation after price trades through it and closes beyond the imbalance — it's then tracked as a support or resistance level instead.
How do I confirm an IFVG before trading it?⌄
Confirm that the move through the original FVG was a genuine close beyond the imbalance, not just a wick touch, then pair it with a market structure shift and displacement on the same timeframe before treating it as valid.
IFVG vs a regular Fair Value Gap — what's the difference?⌄
A regular FVG is still expected to hold its original directional bias; an IFVG is what remains once that bias has been invalidated, and it now functions in the opposite role.
Do I need the PD Array Evaluation Standard to use IFVG correctly?⌄
Yes — the IFVG is one of the concepts where "current role" (step 5 of that standard) matters most, since the same zone was previously one thing and is now its opposite.
