Assuming you remember what a gap is, now remember that most gaps fill.

Price rebounds from a gap fill. It's like bouncing a ball.

If the gap is lower than the current price, very often the stock price will spike up when the gap is filled. A lower gap fill is support. It's like bouncing the ball off the floor. So, when a lower gap is filled its a good time to buy.

If the gap is overhead, when the gap is filled, the stock price will bounce back down. It's like bouncing a ball off the ceiling. Overhead gaps are resistance. When price hits resistance its a good time to sell.

Got it? Real easy way to look at it is just remember the part about lower gap fills and turn the chart upside down if its overhead gaps you're looking at. <ggg>
