You're Waiting for the Wrong Fill on This Setup (Consequent Encroachment) #Shorts

📐 You already know fair value gaps. Here's the part most traders miss. Most people wait for price to fill the ENTIRE gap before considering an entry — and miss the move when it doesn't get there. Price usually only needs to tag the exact midpoint of the gap, the 50% level known as consequent encroachment (CE), before the original move continues. Next time you're watching a gap fill, mark the 50% line first. That's often where the real reaction happens, not the edge of the gap. 💬 Did you know about the 50% rule before this? Comment below. ⚠️ Educational content only. Not financial advice, not a trade signal — always do your own research and manage your own risk. This wraps up the first 10-part Smart Money Concepts series — order blocks, fair value gaps, liquidity sweeps, breaker blocks, mitigation blocks, equal highs and lows, premium and discount zones, inducement, buy-side and sell-side liquidity, Judas swings, power of three, kill zones, and consequent encroachment.
