#Gaps in #trading 101

Common Gaps

These gaps are common & usually get filled quickly. "Getting filled" means the price action at a later time usually retraces at the least to the last day before the gap. The trading volume on such days is generally low / below average.

Breakaway Gaps

They occur when price action is breaking out of their trading range or congestion area. A good confirmation os such gaps is if they are associated with classic chart patterns (eg. Cup & Handle, Darvas Box, Ascending Triangle etc).

Breakaway Gaps

Volume will pick up significantly, for not only the increased enthusiasm, but many are holding positions on the wrong side of the breakout and need to cover or sell them.

Runaway Gaps

Runaway gaps are also called measuring gapscaused by increased interest in the stock. Measuring gap will occur in the middle of, or half way through, the move. Note the significant increase in volume during and after the runaway gap.

Exhaustion Gaps

Exhaustion gaps are those that happen near the end of a good up or downtrend. They are many times the first signal of the end of that move. Exhaustion gaps are quickly filled as prices reverse their trend.

#Volume #Price Action (VPA) 101

Five phases of VPA are as follows:

- Accumulation Phase

- Buying Climax

- Testing

- Distribution Phase

- Selling Climax

(1/n)
#Accumulation phase

Before the insiders can begin to do anything, they need to make sure they have enough inventory, to meet demand.

Once accumulation has begun, the price action follows this typical pattern, where the market is repeatedly moved higher and lower.

(2/n)
#Accumulation phase

It's all about supply and demand. If the insiders can create the demand, then they need the supply to meet this demand.

The repeated buying by the insiders is highlighted in blue.
