Gaps Acts As Pivots

Gap fills can act pivots. It's always a good level to exit a portion of your position. In this chart example, the gap fill acted as a pivot and price declined for 20-25 points.

Not all gap fills will act this way but the probability is 60%+. (trading buddy stats... not mine)

Whenever I fade the opening looking for a gap fill, I like to scale out at half a gap fill and the actual gap fill.
