So, what is Gap Up & Gap Down in Stock Market?

Whenever the price of a particular stock, or any other asset for that matter, opens above or below the close of the previous day, assuming there was no trading in between those times, it is said to be “gapping” in the stock markets. 

Stock market gaps are visible on a chart when a stock’s price jumps abruptly between two candlesticks, leaving a vertical gap in a chart.

Stocks that would open in the following trading session at a higher price than the closing price of the previous day are said to have experienced a “gap up”. This may happen for various reasons that cause the market (especially the major players in it) to be bullish enough to skip the prices that fall in the gap up and bid prices much above the closing price.

Similarly, if a stock opened at a price lower than the closing price from the previous trading session then it is said to have experienced a gap down. This shows that the sellers were desperate enough to charge a far lower price than the LTP of just the previous day.

All said, it’s crucial for traders to accurately recognise the gap type they’re dealing with and to hold off on placing a trade until a directional movement has formed.
