Normally this occurs between the close of the market on one day and the next day's open
Huh? This is Pink Land. There is no A/H or pre-mkt trading. That definition was written for more adult markets.
a gap is an area on a price chart in which there were no trades.
True.
Previous Close (Fri) 0.002
Open today 0.0028 > The MM's jacked up the Open after seeing all the interest; pre-mkt buy orders and/or news.
Daily Range 0.003 - 0.0023 (So far.)
Current gap (groan): 0.002-0.0023
In the past, the MM's have waited two days to fill gaps. I don't like it either, but, as mentioned, after they hit the down button, VCTY usually jumps back quickly. Hold nose. Don't panic.
IMO
