Line 5:
In an upward [[Market trend|trend]], a gap is produced when the highest [[price]] of one day is lower than the lowest price of the following day. Thus, in a downward trend, a gap occurs when the lowest price of any one day is higher than the highest price of the next day.
 
For example, the price of a share reaches a high of $30.00 on Wednesday, and opens at $3631.0020 on Thursday, falls down to $3531.00 in the early hour, moves straight up again to $3731.0045, and no trading occurs in between $30.00 and $3530.0099 area. This no-trading zone appears on the chart as a ''gap''.
 
Gaps can play an important role when spotted before the beginning of a move.
