The study below looks at days like Tuesday where the market gaps higher, never fills, and moves higher from open to close without making a higher high. It was last seen in the 3/27/13 blog. I have updated the results.

Implications here appear somewhat bearish, with most of the damage occurring on day 1. This may be worth keeping in mind as traders formulate their plan.
