Rebalance or rebalancing a FVG is when price returns to a Fair Value Gap (FVG) and completely fills it in, removing the imbalance.
This can occur after the fair value gap has been created, as shown below. I like to look for this on the 15/5/1 minute time frames intraday as well as the daily and hourly timeframes.
This can also occur before the fair value gap is created. Look at these green candle and red hammer candle. You can see that when the red candle opened, there was a FVG (grey box). Price rebalanced and filled the FVG before it was technically formed. Price then continued higher
I personally only look for price to rebalance fair value gaps before they are formed on the daily.
This is a concept that is important to notice because once the imbalance is removed/filled, price tends to reverse if it isn't targeting liquidity, especially on balance days.

pretty boring. open, looking for some type of liquidity run. Maybe rebalance day then fall back into the range. Days like this, draw a broadening formation. $ES_F #TheStrat#ICT
Importance of displacement and the marking out the displacement range, little thread example. 🧵
As you can see, the first move "breaks" the short term high, but no displacement.
The second one, I highlighted the displacement range, see the quick and energetic move? Thats MSS.
Then mark out the displacement range with your .5 fib to see "discount" and "premium"
you want to long in a "discount" or below the .5 fib
Search for a FVG in the discount to find an entry long.
