I have been noticing that gaps between value areas are about as significant as VPOCs. They act as price magnets. As an example, there is a gap between Monday and Tuesday's value areas (7/23 and 7/24). We'll see if that acts as a magnet. The idea is similar to price filling in gaps on a chart.

Anyone else watch this stuff? Maybe Pete Sted. mentioned this?

That's interesting. I've never noticed that or done any research on it. I do know gaps in value areas are significant, but never watched to see if they acted as price magnets. Look forward to seeing some more research on it.

In whipsawing markets (like we have at the moment) they would tend to fill but in strongly trending markets they wouldn't. I would advise looking back over the value areas over several months before coming to any conclusions.

That's a good assessment notouch. However, the majority of the time price is not trending strongly, so it seems worth looking at.
