How this screen works
A gap down means a stock opened meaningfully below the previous close — sellers hit it before the session began, usually on bad news, weak results, or broad risk-off sentiment. The gap marks an overnight repricing.
This screen lists stocks that opened at least 2% below the prior close in the latest session, ranked largest-gap-first, with relative volume alongside to gauge how serious the selling is.
Gap % = (today's open − previous close) ÷ previous close. Stocks at −2% or worse are listed, largest gap first.
Relative volume (RVOL) is shown for context: a gap down on heavy volume signals institutional selling; one on thin volume can reverse quickly.
Gap downs can mark panic lows as well as the start of declines — mean-reversion traders watch them for capitulation, trend traders for breakdown continuation. Information, not advice.
FAQ
What is a gap down?
A stock opening below the previous session's close without trading at the prices in between — repriced overnight on news, results or sentiment. This screen uses a −2% threshold.
Is a gap down a sell signal?
Not automatically. Some gap downs continue lower; others mark capitulation and reverse. Volume, the trend, and the reason behind the gap matter more than the gap alone.
How is the list computed?
From each stock's daily candles: (open − previous close) ÷ previous close, listing stocks at −2% or worse, ranked by gap size, with 20-day relative volume shown.
Why do traders watch gap downs?
They concentrate the day's risk and opportunity: breakdown traders look for continuation, contrarians for exhaustion and gap-fill bounces. Either way, the names on this list are where the action is.
