In finance and economics, a gap refers to a difference between two values, often in the context of market prices or economic indicators.
In the context of market prices, a gap refers to a discontinuity or "jump" in the price of an asset, where there is a visible gap between the previous day's closing price and the next day's opening price. This can occur due to various factors such as news announcements, changes in market sentiment, or changes in supply and demand dynamics.
