Dumb question that I can't seem to get an answer that I understand or feel like it makes sense to me. Why do technical traders feel/say that these gaps always get filled in? If they do, that gap in may is a scary one at that!

Thanks guys and gals!

Gaps used to act as magnets and got filled a little more quickly in the past. Now days a lot of gaps are news based and can go a long time to be filled because when the news changes 180 it gaps in the other direction. So some call these shadow gaps that aren't market based but are news based so no magnetism. Just my theory.
 
Does look like support held but is this trying to form a topping doji::suspicious:

Just a reminder. The coin was flipped very high in the air but will come down eventually.:worried:

Gaps begat gaps in both directions. Over reaction to news in both directions between the two circles. Is this news based rally real?:suspicious:

Looks like the top gap doesn't want to be filled. Things do seem to be calming down post election. Staying 100 G with no short term outlook::suspicious:

Spidey does have a possible bear line::worried:
Should I consider this close enough for gap fill.:blink: Watching both for double top or breaking below higher low bear line or both. Price range or flat top developing. Consolidating sideways which is bullish until it breaks down. I still be looking for short term direction and at 60/40 thinking this is a news based rally and can break downward::suspicious: JMHO

I pretty much try to keep bias out of my charts but thoughts for short term I just might be too cautious. That's me. 60/40 miss gains rather than take loss.:cool:

Here's a basic chart on EFA. I think this is I fund. It's in a F flag that is bullish until it isn't::blink:
