Gaps and How Markets Move In Contraction and ExpansionThere are several ways to trade gaps but first, there should be a solid understanding of what Gaps are and how they show up. Markets aren't that hard to read if we have some simple ways to see them that adhere to the principles of movement.
All markets move in contraction and expansion. A Gap is the sudden supply/demand imbalance that comes out of the contraction and shows up as the expansion. These expansions can even be used to measure how far the next expansion will go.
Start with a simple bar chart and erase everything else off the chart. Look and simply see the dense areas of contraction (Range). Then see the expansion (Gap), followed by another contraction.
Look for same-size contractions and expansion and you will start to see how organized price flow can be. It's no different than swings in that minor contractions and expansions make up the major contractions and expansions.

KTOS - Dancing With 4hr 200maI think Kratos interacting here with the 200ma on the 4hr to be a critical area to watch today. I think we could bounce up potentially, but it's a tough call. I am neutral for now, just noting this critical area. NFA, DYOR
KTOS - As Relevant As Ever...We really smacked those targets perfectly from my last chart, we then hit my other target (gap) that I never published. I'm seeing a continuation of war going on unfortunately, and this stock will likely repeat those targets with continuation. NFA, DYOR
KTOS - Defense StockI've been holding this stock at a loss for weeks, finally in the green again now and I may add more to the position as I am targeting the 200 ma. NFA, DYOR

KTOS runKTOS is looking bullish. Volume was much higher than normal today, Long lower shadow on today's candle. A push to $27+ in 2-3 weeks is very likely. Playing $27.50 calls expiring 10/15.
KTOS is oversold. Swing trade to $25-RSI is looking pretty low
-Strong Cathie Wood support. ARK Invest owns over 8.7 million shares with KTOS being the #3 holding in ARKQ and the #4 holding in the smaller ARKX
-Looking at the front page of the news today, the Taliban looks to be giving Sleepy Joe (and the rest of the world) some problems. Maybe defense companies get a little boost from this?
KTOS200 EMA play, SL set at 24.30 although this may be to close considering the volatility but I don't want to get caught out.
Earnings on deck! Hopefully this won't be another MAXR situation. But is sure seems like its falling in sympathy to MAXR. And yet all the KTOS news seems positive. I'm guessing this will be one of those situations where the stocks drops huge as the call starts and then flies back up as good news unfolds. I certainly don't know but I look forward to seeing how it plays out!
Trying to get Kratos at 25.50$ next weekPutting in a limit order at 25.50$ to get an good entry for Kratos. It is possible it will make a first move till 30$
