Most gaps do not occur on fundamentals. However whenever significant news comes, the markets may gap. This gap may never close.

Probabilities favor most gaps filling within the same day. You need to figure out what caused the initial gap. If its just technicals, there is a chance the gap will close. If for example, the CCI report caused a 6 point gap in the S&P I would be careful. This could be a continuation gap.
