Breakaway Gap: A price gap that forms on the completion of an important price pattern. A breakaway gap usually signals the beginning of an important price move. Breakaway gaps signal a potential change in trend and are especially significant when accompanied by an increase in volume. A bullish breakaway gap forms when a stock gaps up after an extended decline. Breakaway gaps signal the start of a new trend and are not usually filled.
