Imbalance Detection Indicator ICT MT5
The Imbalance Detection Indicator ICT MT5 is a specialized tool designed for the MetaTrader 5 platform to recognize three primary types of market imbalances: Volume Imbalances (VI), Opening Gaps (OG), and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). To enhance readability, the indicator highlights bullish zones in green and bearish zones in red. These imbalances reflect discrepancies between Supply and Demand levels, often signaling areas where price reactions may occur.

Overview of the Indicator
The indicator marks specific zones where liquidity accumulation is likely, increasing the probability of price revisits. Traders utilizing this tool can better identify potential reversal points and price objectives.
Conditions for an Uptrend
On the 1-hour chart of Binance Coin (BNB), the price retraced to 50% of a bullish FVG during a corrective movement, absorbing liquidity before continuing its upward trajectory. In such cases, the levels where price interacts with the FVG may provide optimal opportunities for buy entries.
Conditions for a Downtrend
On the 15-minute GBP/USD chart, price retraced to 50% of a bearish FVG during a pullback, collecting liquidity before continuing its decline. Under these conditions, the points where the price re-enters the FVG can serve as strong entry zones for sell positions.
