Gap Patterns

Gaps expose sudden imbalances in supply and demand. Some are simple context clues, while others define major shifts in trend strength or direction. Below are the key families of gap patterns.


Common Gap

The most basic type of gap, often appearing in ranges and usually filled quickly. More context than signal, but still important.


Trend-Defining Gaps

Patterns that set the tone of a move — from the breakout start, through momentum acceleration, to the final exhaustion push.


Reversal Gap Formations

When gaps isolate candles or clusters, they can signal sharp sentiment flips and trend reversals.


Tasuki Gaps

Continuation Patterns where a counter candle confirms the move without closing the gap.
