XAUUSD: WTH | Why FVG is getting so popular recently?

Gold has been pumping hard lately, and every chart now seems to have someone marking Fair Value Gaps like they just discovered electricity.

My view: FVGs are popular because they give traders a clean visual way to spot imbalance areas after strong impulsive moves. On XAUUSD , where price often moves violently, these gaps can act like magnets or reaction zones.

That said, an FVG alone is not magic. I’d rather use it with structure, liquidity, and clear invalidation. Otherwise it’s just another rectangle on a chart pretending to be a strategy.

Watching how price reacts around the latest imbalance zones before assuming continuation.

What's your go-to FVG setup?
