How they Act:
1. If they are naked i.e. no candle has been formed you in front of them. They are very strong.
2. If gaps have been filled up, means candles have been formed in front of them, then more the candles formed in front of them, weaker they become.
Now let us understand with example: Say price last day was 200 and next day it opens at 205 leaving the gap unfilled price progresses further up leaving the gap unaddressed. Usually it happen when there is strong momentum specifically when it is the third wave price usually leaves the gaps.
Now, there could be some person waiting to buy at the last days price but price has gone up without giving them the opportunity to buy. So, they may wait for price to come back to that level and buy. That is why it works as a strong support. Reverse is also true in the case of downward movement.
Smart traders earn a lot of money due to these gaps. Please check and mark the gaps as the first thing while analyzing a chart. They give money more that any thing else. Now check this gap live on the chart of Natural Gas.
