52 Week High

A 52-week high is the peak price of a stock or ETF over the past 365 days. For example, on January 1, 2022, it would reflect the highest price from January 1, 2021, to January 1, 2022. Traders use this as a technical indicator to assess momentum and strength. A stock hitting its 52-week high might signal bullish trends or breakout potential, though some view it as overbought. It’s a simple yet key metric for evaluating performance and market sentiment over a year-long window.
