Order Flow & Fair Value Gap Approach 3 Setups in the last 48hourThis strategy leverages order flow analysis and the concept of fair value gaps, operating on the principle that the market behaves as an auction—constantly seeking areas of balance and imbalance.
Over the past 48 hours, BTCUSD has presented three high-probability scalping setups aligned with this methodology.
Market Context
Trend: Bullish
The market has shown clear bullish momentum over the last 48 hours.
Breakout Event:
Price broke out of a consolidation zone with strong, aggressive buying activity, indicating a shift in market sentiment and the initiation of a new leg in the trend.
Imbalance Creation:
During this breakout, two fair value gaps (FVGs)—also referred to as low value nodes (LVNs)—were formed as a result of inefficient price movement.
Trade Setup Criteria & Checklist
To validate each setup, we apply the following checklist:
Criteria Status
1. Trend is bullish ✅ Confirmed
2. Breakout from a consolidation zone with aggressive buy orders ✅ Confirmed
3. Fair value gap created by impulsive buying ✅ Confirmed
4. Retracement into the fair value gap ✅ Confirmed
5. Confirmation of strong buyers defending the FVG zone ✅ Confirmed
6. Defined risk with favorable R:R (1:2 or better) ✅ Confirmed
Risk Management
Each trade setup followed a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio, maintaining consistency with our strategy's risk parameters.
This sequence illustrates how combining order flow with structural imbalances like fair value gaps can produce high-quality scalping opportunities. Always remember: context, confirmation, and confluence are key.
