Sorry for being late to conversation in an earlier post, but yes I have the same questions.
Only other thing I may have mentioned in a possible at the bell or pre market buy order by deep pockets allowed to fill or as NN may have mentioned a matched order between "the boys".
I guess there's a multitude of "fringe theories" but makes one (at least me) tend to not have any confidence in the larger time frame charts.

....which is interesting cause it may negate some of my own fringe theories.
I didn't research the "actual" trade and its time stamp and size. Sounds like you're on top of it.
Well, I have no further input or answers, these "magical" gap fills just irk me.
