Bob,
To me the gap up is explained by the statistical implication of the close of
the previous day. In my work the next day showed an
extraordinary tendancy to gap up and make a higher high.  When ever I see
one of those it is a 99 percenter....
this is a better indication than looking at sd of ranges.
