Premise

  • Monday 27th October 2025 we gapped up 37% of the ABR on the weekly chart
  • Open gaps on the weekly chart are rare (ie the close of the week is usually tested in that week)
  • In fact it is closed more often in the next few days
  • I could only find a few instances when that happened in the past 5 years so I want to review them here.
