Imbalance detector in uptrend

Based on the 1-hour price chart of Gold (XAU/USD) , this indicator first plots the Fair Value Gap (FVG) as a green box. The center line of the box represents 50% of the "FVG" imbalance area.

When the price returns to this level, it provides favorable conditions for entering a buy (long) trade.

Similar to an uptrend, on the 5-minute price chart of EUR/USD , the gap between two non-adjacent candles is marked with a red box. The chart shows that the price has returned to the bearish 50% of “FVG” before resuming the downtrend.
