The 52-week high-low difference
By David BukeyTraders closely watch stocks that hit new yearly highs or lows because these events suggest a certain amount of bullish or bearish momentum. The idea is that if a stock climbs to a new 52-week high, it might continue rallying, especially if it just broke out of a trading range. The opposite is supposed to hold true for 52-week lows. In bull markets, more stocks tend to climb to 52-week highs than drop to 52-week lows, while the opposite is true in bear markets.
