What is 52-week high and low?
A stock's 52-week high is the highest price it traded at in the last year, and its 52-week low the lowest. New 52-week highs are where momentum concentrates: a stock at a one-year high has no holders from the past year sitting on losses who want to sell at break-even. Research on many markets, India included, has found that stocks near their 52-week high tend to keep outperforming, which is called the 52-week-high effect.
Formula
52-week high = highest high of the last 250 sessions
52-week low = lowest low of the last 250 sessions
% from 52-week high = (close − 52-week high) ÷ 52-week high × 100
How to read it
- The count of new highs minus new lows across the market is a breadth gauge. Expanding new highs confirm a rally.
- New highs on high relative volume show institutional demand.
- Stocks making repeated new lows are in persistent downtrends. Avoid catching them without a base.
Common mistakes
- Assuming a stock at its 52-week high is 'too expensive'. Price level alone says nothing about valuation.
