Bank Nifty often opens with a gap relative to its previous close, driven by overnight global
cues or banking-sector news — trading these gaps well requires a specific approach.
Gap-and-Go
When a gap opens in the direction of a strong prevailing trend and holds early strength, some traders look to
join the continuation rather than fade it.
Gap-Fill
Other gaps, especially those without strong supporting news, tend to partially or fully fill as the session
progresses — a setup some traders look to trade in the opposite direction of the gap.
Waiting for Confirmation
Because gaps can go either way, waiting for the first 15-30 minutes to confirm direction before committing
reduces the risk of getting caught on the wrong side of an early reversal.
