A gap is an area on a technical chart where an asset's price jumps higher.
Up-listing refers to when a company listing (stock) moves from a lower perceived exchange to a larger more recognizable one. A broad U.S. hierarchy listing would look something like: Over the Counter (OTC:BB) to AMEX to Nasdaq (there are three tiers) to NYSE.
By moving up to stronger and more recognizable exchanges, the stock will broaden its available shareholder base, some firms, funds, institutions do not invest in stocks listed on the lower tier exchanges.
Gaps are areas on a chart where the price of a stock (or another financial instrument) moves sharply up.
