IKM, the theory is that when a stock gaps up or down, it will retrace to fill the gap before it can continue in the direction of the gap. I'm not a technician, so my def. may be simplistic and I'm not sure how reliable a theory it is (as reliable as any pure TA?).

IKM ,
I read about gaps in books but they just describe them and don't really say why they get filled so frequently. I just accept it now as technical phenomena backed by my experience of watching it happen. Laters...(Someday I will enjoy knowing the real answer if there is one)
