🧠 BPR – Theory #
Understanding the power of overlapping imbalances
📌 What is a BPR? #
A Balanced Price Range (BPR) is a price zone where two opposite Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) overlap.
👉 This overlap creates a reinforced imbalance, far more significant than a standalone FVG or VI.
It reflects intense and repeated institutional intervention in the same area, through fast moves in both directions.
💡 Result: A major Point of Interest (POI), often used as an institutional support or resistance zone.
🔄 How is a BPR formed? #
1. First imbalance: The market forms a bullish (or bearish) FVG after a strong impulsive move.

2. Countermove: A second FVG appears shortly after, in the opposite direction.

3. Overlap: The zone where both FVGs intersect becomes the BPR.

🧲 Why is the BPR so powerful? #
The overlap of two imbalances concentrates twice the institutional flow — more orders to execute, close, or initiate.
It becomes a zone that is:
- Loaded with liquidity: Both buy and sell orders cluster there
- Frequently revisited: The price often comes back with precision
- Likely to trigger reactions: Reversals or continuations, depending on the context
👉 For Smart Money, it’s the ideal zone to:
- Accumulate or redistribute
- Rebalance open positions
- Complete leftover orders
🎯 The BPR becomes a key zone to monitor for entries, bounces, or profit targets.
💡 The larger the overlap, the stronger the BPR.
📊 Types of BPR #
- Bullish BPR: A bearish FVG followed by a bullish FVG that overlaps it

- Bearish BPR: A bullish FVG followed by a bearish FVG that overlaps it
