I repeat further movement up is not contingent on the gap being closed. It is the ST indicators of momentum that will determine this. If we close green today with some volume i.e. mil or so that is a good sign to re-attack 16.5 and move on past. So gap isn't an indicator of momentum but one which could influence momentum. However, if momentum changes one needs to change with. I can't emphasis this highly enough for the players obsessed with gaps. Yes it is ideal to have a chart with no gaps - however illiquid stocks like fgr are not as stringent in conforming.
