Gap

When the low of the current price bar is higher than the high of the preceding price bar, or the high of the current price bar is lower than the low of the preceding price bar.

Some traders also use the term gap to refer to an opening price that is higher than the high (or lower than the low) of the preceding price bar (an "opening" gap).
