Market technicians have theorized that runaway gaps often occur after a security has experienced a breakaway gap.
The psychology behind a runaway gap is that traders, who did not get in during the initial move, get tired of waiting for a retracement to join what they perceive to be a trending market and jump in en masse.
Understanding Runaway Gaps
In general, gaps in a security’s price will occur when the price makes a significant spike in either an upward or downward direction. A runaway gap is one of several gaps that may occur during a trend. This type of gap, best viewed on a price chart, occurs during strong bull or bear moves, and is characterized by a significant price change in the direction of the prevailing trend.
During a trend, a security’s price may experience several runaway gaps which can help to reinforce the trend’s direction. Market technicians have theorized that runaway gaps often occur after a security has experienced a breakaway gap, as the probability of an unexpected event, typically a news story, that can promote the existing trend, rises.
