Gap Fill
When price returns to the area of a prior gap, closing the unfilled space. Many traders anticipate gap fills, particularly for common gaps and exhaustion gaps.
Gap
A price area where no trading occurred, visible as a space between two candles on a chart. Gaps can signal strong sentiment, news events, or institutional activity.
Golden Cross
A bullish signal that occurs when a shorter-term moving average (typically 50-day) crosses above a longer-term moving average (typically 200-day). Widely watched by institutional and retail traders alike.
Gravestone Doji
A doji with a long upper shadow and virtually no lower shadow, where the open, close, and low are at or near the same price. A bearish signal at resistance, showing rejection of higher prices.
Gap and Go
A momentum trading strategy that enters long on stocks that gap up at the open on high volume and continue moving higher. The gap shows strong demand, and the continuation confirms follow-through.
Gap Down Reversal
A bullish pattern where price gaps down at the open but reverses and closes higher, filling the gap. The rejection of lower prices shows strong buying interest despite the initial bearish gap.
