Bullish vs Bearish Gap Signals: Which Ones Actually Matter?

Dave Keller explains price gap analysis, using Oracle, Apple, Alphabet, and S&P 500 examples. With these, Dave shows how traders identify bullish gaps, bearish gaps, gap-and-run patterns, and gap-and-fail signals. Dave then breaks down the different types of price gaps and what they reveal about investor sentiment and trend strength. He also shows how to use gaps as support and resistance zones, combine them with moving averages and Fibonacci retracements, and apply annotation techniques in StockCharts to track important levels as trends develop.
