ICT Immediate Rebalance
By LuxAlgoApr 30, 2024
ICT Immediate Rebalance detects the pattern that mirrors a fair value gap: instead of leaving an inefficiency behind, price fills the gap at once, producing a balanced state with nothing owed to retracement. The indicator marks each occurrence, plots 75%, 50%, and 25% wick levels around it, and tracks whether the expected follow-through arrives — with a dashboard collecting the statistics as they accumulate.
How to Trade the ICT Immediate Rebalance?
- Rebalance marked: an immediate rebalance says the market cleared its imbalance instantly — efficiency, and often one-sided intent.
- Two extension candles: the follow-through that defines success; when they fail to form, the rebalance is considered ineffective.
- Failed vs successful: both matter — a failure at a meaningful level says as much about intent as a clean continuation, so read each in context.
- Wick levels: the 75/50/25% wick prices give reference levels for how deep any reaction runs.
- Higher timeframe detection: spot rebalances on a larger timeframe and optionally display the HTF candles where they formed.
The pattern shows up on any market and timeframe, which is exactly why the dashboard exists: its occurrence statistics let you study how immediate rebalances have behaved on your chart before you lean on them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I trade immediate rebalances on their own?
Treat them as context rather than complete setups: the pattern tells you the market is efficient and decisive at that moment. Reading it alongside structure, liquidity, and other ICT references is the intended use.
What does the toolkit version add?
ICT Immediate Rebalance Toolkit wraps the same pattern with buyside and sellside liquidity, order and breaker blocks, liquidity voids, plus the ICT macro windows. Everything the pattern is judged against arrives in one package.
