Some old Large Gap-Up Studies to Review

I'm a bit pressed for time this morning so no new research. The large gap up does put us in a situation I've discussed a number of times before, though. See these old posts:

You’ll note they all suggest a downside edge from open to close on the day of the gap. I also noticed Scott Andrews of Master the Gap posted research along these lines in his video last night. His results were confirming of mine. Below is a link to that:
