Near the end of an uptrend, a final gap known as exhaustion gap will appear on the price chart to alert the end of the trend and the beginning of a brief, narrow sideways movement. A breakaway gap to the downside this time, will end the sideways movement and signal a trend reversal. The price pattern, isolated by the two gaps, is known as Island Reversal.
