What is called as GAP in technical analysis?

[M Prem Rajan]

A GAP in technical analysis is caused when the market opens either at a very high price than yesterdays high  and continues to move up or opens at very low price than yesterday’s low and continues to go down wards. A candle stick chart clearly shows this price difference between 2 days as a gap in the chart.

A gap is a difference between a day’s opening price and previous day’s closing price.

[Balaji]

In technical analysis, a gap in a chart is essentially an empty space between one trading period and the previous trading period.

This happens when there is a large-enough difference in the opening price of a trading period where that price and the subsequent price moves do not fall within the range of the previous trading period. For example, on the first day if the closing price of a company’s stock is Rs.500 and the next trading day if it opens at Rs.530, there would be a large gap up on the chart between these two periods.

In simple words, a gap is an area on a price chart in which there were no trades.

[Padmavathi Sukumar]

The blank space (price range where trading never happened) that is created between the current days opening price and previous days closing price is called as GAP in technical analysis
