What it means
Voids are larger than a single FVG. Price often retraces into them later because few orders were filled there on the first pass.
How to spot it
- A tall series of candles with almost no overlap.
- Usually created by displacement or news.
Common mistakes
- Expecting an immediate retrace. Voids can stay open for a long time.
