Archive snapshot as of 2026-10-30 18:00 UTC. Built from candles read for this site, not from a running market. How gaps are defined
From formation to the end of its session
The first three candles are the ones that make the gap: its upper and lower edges are the wicks of candle 1 and candle 3. The box runs until price trades through the far edge, or to the last candle of the session.
