Gaps in stock charts don't always fill—it's a popular trading adage, but data shows they fill around 80% of the time, especially common gaps in ranging or low-volume markets.
They occur when a stock's price jumps sharply between one trading session's close and the next open, often due to after-hours news, earnings reports, or shifts in market sentiment, leaving a "void" on the chart with no trades in between. This void acts like a magnet for price action!
Once filled, the prior gap level can act as support, attracting buyers who see it as a potential bounce point after the corrective move. However, the outcome depends on the macro. Statistically, studies and trader analyses indicate that after a gap fills, the price reverses direction (in this case, bouncing back up) about 80% of the time.
H.T to Wheelyums for picking up on this.
