Once the price reached its highest level, then it was as if there were simply no more buyers to push prices higher. Corona factor build up fear in investors and people started exiting their position.
The principle behind an exhaustion gap is that the number of likely buyers has diminished and sellers have aggressively stepped into the market. The buyers may be largely exhausted implying that the upward trend is likely about to stop as sellers take profits from a previously extended rise in the price of the stock.
The exhaustion gap has three particular features.
1. Several weeks or months of upward trend in the share price of a stock.
2. A sizable gap between the lowest price of the day previous and the highest price of the most recent trading day (roughly half the range, or better, of an average trading day for that stock).
3. An above average degree of trading volume taking place on the current day.
When these three components all exist in a two-day price pattern, it is usually referred to as an exhaustion gap and technical analysts expect that this signal implies prices will trend lower over the days and weeks ahead.
Exhaustion gaps can be difficult to identify and may be easily confused with runaway gaps.
