But sometimes when a large number of orders get filled then a sudden change in price happens. This sudden change causes a gap in the price chart. This large amount of buy orders is a direct indication of an upcoming bullish trend because institutional traders are interested to buy that specific asset.

The gap in the rising window pattern also acts as a strong support level.  Sometimes, the price will give a small pullback towards the gap to fill it, and then it will continue its bullish trend.

For example, you are looking for a buying opportunity after the formation of a rising window pattern but the bullish candlestick has a wide range resulting in a bigger stop loss level and a small risk-reward ratio. Then you can wait for the price to give a minor pullback to fill the gap and open a buy order after a bullish candlestick confirmation at the gap zone.
