Patterns

Gaps

Price jumps with no trading in between

A gap occurs when price opens significantly higher or lower than the previous close. Breakaway gaps start new trends — they rarely fill. Exhaustion gaps appear at the end of trends — they usually fill. Understanding gap type prevents bad trades.

🔑 Key Takeaway

Breakaway gap = new trend (don't fade). Exhaustion gap = trend ending (may fill).
