Market Gaps & Opportunities
Gap Up and Gap Down refer to price differences between a stock’s previous closing price and its opening price on the next trading day.
Gap Up: When a stock opens significantly higher than its previous close, usually driven by positive earnings, news, or market sentiment.
Gap Down: When a stock opens notably lower than the previous close, often due to negative news, poor results, or broader market fears.
Trading Opportunities:
Gaps can create powerful short-term opportunities. Traders may:
Fade the Gap: Bet on a reversal back to the prior close if the gap was overextended or lacks volume.
Ride the Momentum: Enter in the direction of the gap if strong volume and price action confirm the trend.
Gap Fill Strategy: Trade toward the idea that gaps tend to fill, meaning price may retrace to the previous day’s close.
