Gap with volume · Analysis method

The price of RCL is currently in no zone of this method. The check runs daily after the market close.

Whether a price will soon reach a zone, you see from Watcher. Plans and pricing

How the zone is formed

What is this? After strong news, usually earnings, the price opened above the previous day’s high and closed much higher on heavy volume. Such moves often continue for a few more days.

Buy zone: from the start of the gap to the close of the gap day. Stop: just below the low of the gap day. Targets: 3 and 5 ATR (normal daily ranges) above the close of the gap day.

The pattern is valid for at most 15 trading days and expires if the price falls below the stop. This is a calculated analysis, not a forecast and not a call to buy. Risk notice and investment advice
