When the true bull market arrives, most people will fall into a cognitive misconception—expecting to see the gap fill movement over the weekend. But this precisely exposes the misunderstanding of the characteristics of a bull market.

In reality, a strong bull market will not fill every gap as people expect. Instead, traders who miss the upward move are often driven by FOMO to buy in at higher prices. This psychological game is the underlying logic of a real bull market—not perfect technical closures, but continuously hitting new highs, encouraging latecomers to chase prices.

Understanding this is much more practical than obsessing over gap theory.

In plain terms, the gap theory is worthless in the face of a bull market, purely self-comforting.

Haha, really. The gap theory is useless in a bull market. High points come one after another, and there's no chance for you to fill the gaps.

The gap theory is a joke in the face of a bull market; the real rookie move is stubbornly holding onto the gap.

Haha, really. Those still waiting to fill the gap were immediately overwhelmed; it's that simple.

That's right, the gap theory and all that stuff are just pits dug for retail investors. The real bull market is characterized by crazy FOMO, and it doesn't follow the usual patterns at all.

There's nothing wrong with that. The gap theory is a false proposition in a bull market. The real impressive trend is a continuous breakout, making latecomers doubt their lives.

Haha, really. A bunch of people are still waiting for the gap to fill, not realizing they've already been left behind. The gap theory is basically useless in a bull market; FOMO is the real boss. This wave of the market is just a game of musical chairs, and those who wake up late always chase the high. No matter how perfect the technicals are, it’s useless; you have to follow the hot money. I just see those still studying the gaps, and they've already been liquidated. In a bull market, nothing makes sense—it's just about making you afraid of missing out. A friend of mine insists on waiting for the gap to fill, but the price difference has already doubled. This is market psychology, not chart analysis. The theory is useful, but making money is hard, everyone.

That's right. People who have been brainwashed by the gap theory really need to wake up. The real bull market is when prices surge wildly without regard for rules.

The gap theory should have been discarded long ago. During a bull market, it relentlessly pushes upward without regard for rules, forcing later participants to chase prices. This is the game.
