GAB is a phenomenon that often occurs in the market due to a supply or demand vacuum and occurs during market holidays.

GAP often occurs in the market because in forex price movements cannot be ascertained and when the brokerage market is busy, every price is actually still moving, it's just not significant and when the price moves significantly when the broker is on holiday there is a gap.

GAP occurs because of a price vacuum that occurs in forex when the market is off or quiet, in fact the market is never off, it's just that on holidays only a small amount of transaction volume occurs.

one of the causes of GAP in the forex market is the presence of empty spaces that are not filled with candlesticks and that is because of fast jumps in price movements.

The occurrence of GAP or a considerable distance due to pricing on the market after holidays or due to big news conditions, mutual attraction between buying and selling at separate prices, this condition will not last long and return to normal in just a few hours.

GAP usually occurs when the market is not normal or there is fundamental news that violates technical rules so that GAP will occur in an instant.

GAP occurs in markets that have high volatility, even GAP can also occur when the market is open, not only when the market closes on weekends.

GAP occurs when the price has no footing or there are no orders around the last price and the price moves quickly so that it will create a price vacuum or GAP.

GAB seems rare now, but under certain conditions GAP in the market is very visible even at the end of the year like now.

GAP can occur because when the market is closed we often don't see that at that time a large fundamental condition occurs and affects the forex market.

GAP is a price jump due to very high volatility so that the market cannot visualize the price move and a price vacuum is formed.

GAP occurs in the market because GAP is not recorded by the broker when the broker is on holiday and the broker also does not increase or record prices on weekends or holidays.

GAP often occurs after or before market holidays, avoid GAP because of the far price range by avoiding trading at that time.

Observing the enormous risk, it is better to anticipate when trading at the end of the closing hour mark, avoiding not having time to close the trade.
GAP karens at the beginning can be very detrimental especially the resilience of small capital.
