📝 Overview

The ICT (Inner Circle Trader) Opening Gap represents the price difference between the previous trading session's closing price and the current session's opening price. This gap serves as a key indicator of market sentiment and can offer valuable clues about the market's potential direction throughout the trading day.

• A bullish Opening Gap forms when the market opens higher than the previous session's close, signaling strong buying interest or positive sentiment heading into the new session
  
• A bearish Opening Gap occurs when the market opens lower than the previous session's close, reflecting heightened selling pressure or negative sentiment among market participants
  

The Opening Gap is significant as it often establishes the market's tone for the trading session. Accurately interpreting this gap enables traders to make informed decisions about when to enter or exit positions. Serving as a gauge of market strength or weakness, the gap provides a clear signal of whether the market is likely to trend upward or downward during the day.
