Bullish vs Bearish FVGs
Bullish FVGs are support zones. Bearish FVGs are resistance zones.
What This Means
A bullish FVG forms during a strong upward move — the gap is below current price and acts as support. When price returns to fill it, it often bounces back up. A bearish FVG forms during a strong downward move — the gap is above current price and acts as resistance. When price returns to it, it often gets rejected back down.

The Rule
Bullish FVG below price = buy zone. Bearish FVG above price = sell zone.
Trade in the direction of the FVG, not against it.

Color code: yellow for bullish FVGs, orange for bearish FVGs

Only trade bullish FVGs when your 4H bias is bullish, and vice versa
Common Mistake
Don't use an FVG that conflicts with your HTF bias. A bullish FVG in a bearish market is a trap.
