Since you keep harping on this topic, lets review who should learn technical analysis.
Tell me what the Chart School is saying about gap analysis. No personal attack or name calling please, calling someone an asshole doesn't make your flawed analysis correct.
Did the April 3 and 4 trades satisfy the above definition of a gap? Or what does the candlesticks chart shows in terms of gap analysis? Your definition of a gap analysis fails on both.
There are two separate things: the technical school definition of gap analysis and self-fulfilling prophecy of a gap analysis. The latter comes to fruition when more you talk about it and more novice traders start believing/acting on it, albeit flawed definition.
