Order block
An order block is the last candle going the other way before a strong move, and people treat that candle's range as a zone price may come back to. In the ICT lessons that's the last down candle before a rally, or the last up candle before a selloff. Write-ups disagree on which candle counts, and on whether price has to break a prior high or low first, and Backtoast hasn't run one.

The candle
A bullish order block is a down candle and then a rally that leaves it behind, and people look for price to come back into that candle's high-to-low range. A bearish order block is the mirror. A break of a prior high is an extra condition some write-ups add and some leave out.
Fair value gap and ICT
A fair value gap is the empty band a fast candle leaves between its neighbors, and both ideas are taught as ICT trading strategy.
