The Gap Analysis indicator compares the current candle's open price with the previous candle's close price to assess potential price movements. It generates text symbols (▼, ▲, ━) that represent the momentum and direction of price action, with each symbol positioned above the corresponding candle.
The indicator uses color coding to enhance visual interpretation, with red and blue representing bearish and bullish conditions respectively, and orange and navy signaling intermediate momentum levels. By analyzing the relationship between open and close prices, the indicator provides a quick and intuitive method for traders to understand price dynamics.
