Trading the Upside Gap Three Method

Pattern Psychology

A market has been moving in a direction,t hen a gap appears between two white candles. Gaps have significance in that they eventually have to be filled. The fact that it becomes filled immediately leads investors to think that the pullback is just a profit taking pullback. The trend should resume immediately after the gap filling is satisfied.
