A gap up means a stock opened meaningfully above the previous close — buyers were willing to pay up before the session even began, usually on overnight news, results, or broader sentiment. Gaps mark where the market repriced without trading.
This screen lists stocks that opened at least 2% above the prior close in the latest session, ranked by gap size, with relative volume alongside — a gap that holds on heavy volume reads very differently from one that fades on thin participation.
Gap % = (today's open − previous close) ÷ previous close. Stocks at +2% or more are listed, largest gap first.
Relative volume (RVOL) is shown for context: gaps backed by heavy volume are more likely driven by real news or institutional repricing.
Traders distinguish gap-and-go (gap holds and extends) from gap-fill (price retraces to the prior close). The gap itself is information about overnight demand, not a directional promise.
What is a gap up?
A stock opening above the previous session's close without trading at the prices in between — the market repriced it overnight on news, results or sentiment. This screen uses a 2% threshold.
Do gaps always fill?
No — 'gaps always fill' is a market adage, not a rule. Strong news gaps can run for days (gap-and-go), while weaker ones often retrace to the prior close (gap-fill). Volume helps separate the two.
How is the list computed?
From each stock's daily candles: (open − previous close) ÷ previous close, listing stocks at +2% or more, ranked by gap size, with 20-day relative volume shown.
Is a gap up a buy signal?
Not by itself. A gap shows overnight demand; what happens next depends on whether it holds. Chasing gaps without a plan is a common way to buy the day's high. Information, not advice.
