ICT Balanced Price Range (BPR) Explained

What is Balanced Price Range in ICT?

An overlapping area created when a bullish and bearish FVG overlap, representing a zone where opposing imbalances intersect.

Definition of Balanced Price Range

The price interval common to a bullish FVG and a bearish FVG.

How to identify Balanced Price Range

Identify one bullish and one bearish FVG; draw their shared price interval. If they do not overlap, there is no BPR.

price reclaims an overlapping BPR from below and holds it.

Bearish Balanced Price Range example

Balanced Price Range chart examples

Practical trading example

A bearish FVG overlaps part of an earlier bullish FVG; after a sell-side sweep, price reclaims the overlap and uses it as support.

Common mistakes and important notes

BPR boundaries depend on the exact FVGs selected. It is not inherently bullish or bearish.
