An inversion FVG is a gap that got violated instead of respected, then flips polarity. How the flip works and why it needs a close, not a wick.
An Inversion Fair Value Gap is a Fair Value Gap that price traded fully through rather than reacting to. Once violated, the gap can flip: a bullish gap that fails becomes an area of resistance, and a bearish gap that fails becomes support.
The same mechanism as a breaker block. Traders who treated the gap as support are wrong once it breaks. When price returns, they exit, and the area produces the opposite pressure to what it originally offered. Nothing mystical — just positioning that turned out to be on the wrong side.
The violation must be a close through the gap, not a wick. Wicks through gaps are extremely common and mean very little. If you count wicks, almost every gap eventually becomes an inversion, which makes the concept useless.
Inversion gaps are most useful as confirmation that the prior read was wrong, rather than as standalone entries. A bullish gap failing on a close is real information about who is in control — it is often worth more as an invalidation signal than as a trade trigger.
