Gaps

Sustainability Stocks: ESAB ExampleNYSE:ESAB has been around for many years although it only went public on the NYSE as a Swedish-American company in 2022. ESAB Corporation is focusing on sustainability and connected fabrication technology, which is an area headed for more growth. The stock is 90% held by institutions. ALL of the giant Buy-Side and ETF developers are near the top of the Institutional holdings list. The stock as been trending upward since its IPO bottom completion, which completed very quickly at $50. The company's revenues have been steady. Earnings have been up and down quarter over quarter. The recent gap up is a breakaway gap, which seldom fill.

The Gap Between What Is and What Will BeThere are 5 basic ways to trade a Gap or any line. In this video, I discuss two ways to enter the market using a Gap before I make the trade plan. The Gap entry techniques by themselves are of little use, but if we make a few distinctions in market structure and the process of a swing cycle, they can become functional. Swing cycles have a process that they go through. As long as we understand that process we can view Gaps in the light of where they happen in that process. I'm going to focus these two Gap entry techniques in the lower portion of the reaction leg at the bottom pivot of a swing. The Gaps are what make up the pivot portion of the swing. If you observe markets and swings you will often see this distinct pivot portion of a swing, it looks like a U at the bottom of a reaction leg as the buyers wrestle control back from the sellers.

Market Gaps: Strategies, Types, Fills and Crypto.Greetings, traders! If you appreciate our charts, give us a quick 💜💜 In stock trading, gaps can significantly impact market dynamics. They occur when a stock's price makes a sudden leap between two candlesticks, often due to substantial news breaking after market hours. These gaps can be upward (gap up) or downward (gap down), signifying abrupt shifts in market sentiment. Understanding Gap Types: Common Gaps: These gaps appear without any specific underlying event and are often encountered in stocks with low trading volumes. Breakaway Gaps: Breakaway gaps are akin to a breakout, occurring when a stock price surges above a resistance level or plunges below a support level, breaking established market norms. Continuation Gaps: These gaps arise in the direction of an existing trend, typically propelled by increased buying or selling activity. Exhaustion Gaps: Exhaustion gaps signal a potential reversal of the trend, but they usually occur on low trading volumes. Unpacking the Gap Fill Phenomenon: Gap "fill" occurs when the stock price retraces to pre-gap levels, offering traders opportunities to benefit from the market's oscillations. However, not all gaps experience this reversion, especially breakaway gaps, as broken support or resistance might hinder the fill. Trading Gap Fills: Strategies and Considerations: To navigate the complex landscape of gaps and gap fills, traders should consider several key factors: Tailored Strategies: Crafting strategies based on the gap type, the prevailing market trends, and trading volumes. Volume Analysis: High trading volume often indicates a continuation of the gap, while low volume may suggest a potential gap fill. Patience is Key: Traders should exercise patience, waiting for a confirmed trend to emerge before making trading decisions. Breakaway Gaps: While many gaps in trading tend to fill over time, breakaway gaps possess unique characteristics that often result in them remaining open. Breakaway gaps typically stand out due to: Robust Momentum: These gaps are typically backed by powerful market momentum, making it difficult for prices to retreat quickly. New Market Perception: They often signal a significant shift in how the market views a stock's value, establishing a new price reality. Lack of Immediate Resistance: Occurring where trading activity is limited, breakaway gaps find little resistance to their newfound position. Market-Wide Acceptance: When breakaway gaps respond to widely accepted news or events, the market solidifies the new price level, resisting attempts to fill the gap. Altered Investor Psychology: These gaps can initiate shifts in investor psychology, leading to sustained buying or selling pressure, reinforcing the gap's persistence. Navigating Risk and Opportunity in Unfilled Gaps: Unfilled gaps can present challenges, but they also offer unique opportunities. Traders who understand the enduring nature of breakaway gaps can develop strategies that harness the momentum and trend shifts linked to these gaps. By aligning trades with prevailing market sentiment, traders can leverage the complexities of unfilled gaps to their advantage. Cryptocurrency Market: An Exception to the Gap Rule: It's important to note that the cryptocurrency market operates differently from traditional stock markets. Gaps are relatively rare in the crypto realm, primarily due to its 24/7 trading structure. The continuous trading activity minimizes the possibility of significant price gaps. However, rapid and substantial price changes can result in occasional "gap-like" phenomena. For instance, a sudden surge in buying or selling activity can lead to notable price shifts. Understanding these distinctions is crucial when trading cryptocurrencies. Recognizing gap types, considering market context, and aligning strategies with prevailing market sentiment can empower traders to navigate the intricacies of gaps and leverage them effectively. In the cryptocurrency market, it's essential to comprehend the unique dynamics that affect gap occurrences.

Semiconductors in Focus: Top or Not?NASDAQ:NVDA has shifted sideways since the huge earnings breakaway gap, a pattern that tends to provide strong support for profit-taking. Unlike NASDAQ:AMD , the trend doesn't appear to be at risk of shifting into a downtrend at this time. While there has been some negative news pertaining to China for NVidia, the chart patterns don't indicate any concern from the largest Buy Side Institutions yet. NVDA reports again near the end of August. By the end of this month, the big Buy Sides will have made adjustments to their holdings depending on their expectations for earnings, a time to watch for any shift in the technical patterns. AMD reports early August. This short-term M top is at risk of testing support level highs below.

📊 Liquidity Gaps CheatsheetIn volatile markets, traders can benefit from large jumps in asset prices if they can be turned into opportunities. Gaps are areas on a chart where the price of a stock (or another financial instrument) moves sharply up or down, with little or no trading in between. As a result, the asset’s chart shows a gap in the normal price pattern. The enterprising trader can interpret and exploit these gaps for profit. 📌 What is a gap? A gap occurs when the price of a security moves quickly through a price level, either up or down, with little trading or pricing available over that time span. 📌 How they are formed Gaps can be caused by several factors, but they are mostly seen as a result of unexpected news or a technical breach of support or resistance. 🔹 On the fundamental side , the news could be a company beating earnings estimates by a large margin, or a speech by a Federal Reserve (Fed) official impacting interest rate expectations. 🔹 On the technical side, gaps can ensue following the break of a prior high/low, or other form of technical resistance or support, such as a key trend line. 💥 Key Takeaways About GAPS 🔹 Gaps are spaces on a chart that emerge when the price of the financial instrument significantly changes, with little or no trading in between. 🔹 Gaps can occur unexpectedly as the perceived value of the investment changes, due to underlying fundamental or technical factors, such as an earnings disappointment. 🔹 Gaps are classified as breakaway, exhaustion, common, or continuation, based on when they occur in a price pattern and what they signal. 👤 @QuantVue 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

EXPLAINED: Runaway GapLESSON OF THE DAY Runaway Gap A Runaway Gap is a continuation move where the price gaps in the middle of a trend e..g Up or Down. The gap is a void (where no prices overlap between two candles) And then the price follows the previous trend. I like to think of a Runaway Gap as a horse that goes from trotting to galloping. The trend then starts to accelerate and continue in the direction. Specifics for this example: · Previous price moves in a downtrend. · Price then gaps. · Price then follows the continuous downtrend. Please react so I know to provide more daily lessons...
