Kraken Desktop Adds Native Fair Value Gap Detection

Kraken announced on September 3, 2026, that Kraken Desktop now includes a native fair value gap indicator for candle charts.

The new tool is designed to identify chart imbalances in real time within the desktop trading platform. It adds detection, filtering and alerting functions to Kraken Desktop’s charting toolkit.

At launch, the indicator also includes inverse fair value gap detection and a range of settings intended to let users tailor how zones are displayed and evaluated.

Detection and zone scoring

The native indicator identifies fair value gaps on candle charts and applies default filtering to the detected zones.

Kraken said zones receive Low, Medium or High scores based on multiple chart checks. The announcement did not specify the individual checks used in that scoring process.

Users can also enable optional alerts for when price returns to a detected zone. These tools provide chart-based signals, not guarantees about future price movements.

• Real-time fair value gap detection on candle charts
• Default filtering for detected zones
• Low, Medium and High zone scoring
• Optional price-return alerts

Inverse gaps and customization

Kraken Desktop’s release includes inverse fair value gap detection alongside standard gap identification.

The platform also offers approximately 20 customization settings at launch. Kraken said the settings allow users to adjust the indicator to their preferences, though the announcement did not list each available control.

The update expands the set of technical-analysis features available directly in Kraken Desktop. Users should evaluate any indicator in the context of their own trading approach and risk management.
