In trading, gap-up and gap-down openings often spark fear and uncertainty. When these movements become frequent, many traders prefer to sit on the sidelines. You have experienced this in the last few days since the tariff war began.
But what if we told you that there’s actually a hidden opportunity during these volatile phases?
That silver lining is intraday trading, and the key to success here lies in stock selection.
Why Gaps Matter in Intraday Trading
Gaps in the market—when a stock opens significantly higher or lower than its previous close—are often driven by overnight news, earnings results, or broader market sentiment. These gaps can act as strong signals for momentum traders. Identifying which stocks are gapping and why gives you a tactical edge for the day.
Sometimes, it’s not just about individual stocks. Entire sectors can move in unison. For example, Bank Nifty often shows significant sector-wide gap moves that savvy traders can capitalise on.
But here’s the real question: How do you identify these gap movers instantly and accurately?
