The overlap between a bullish and a bearish fair value gap that formed close together.
What it means
When price leaves a gap one way and then a gap the other way across the same prices, the overlapping part is the balanced price range. Some traders treat it as a stronger zone than either gap alone.
How to spot it
- Find a bullish and a bearish FVG at roughly the same prices.
- The overlap is the BPR.
Common mistakes
- Forcing a BPR from gaps that are far apart in time.
