Because the stock has many gaps we will talk about gaps,

Gaps are areas on a chart where the price of a stock moves sharply up or down, with little or no trading in between.

A gap is produced when on a particular day a certain stock at its lowest price is traded higher, compared to its highest price at which it was traded on a preceding day.

Gaps can provide clues about the price movement.
Remember that not all gaps are genuine, some are phony as well. Genuine or valid gaps occur when the market skips a price level.
Common gaps normally occur in calm and quiet markets, rather trend less markets.

There is a common superstition that “a gap must be closed.” It is further molded into “If space isn’t filled in three days, it will be filled in three weeks, and if it isn’t filled in three weeks, it will be filled in three months, etc.”
