High Value
Introduction:
The High Value in trading represents the highest price reached by an asset during a specific time frame. It plays a key role in determining the volatility and strength of price movements. Traders monitor the high value to assess breakout potential and market strength.
How does it work?
High_t = max(P_high)
Where:
- P_high is the highest price observed within the selected time period.
Interpretation of High Value:
1. Trend Confirmation: A rising series of highs indicates an uptrend, whereas lower highs may signal weakening momentum.
2. Breakout Strategy: If a security breaks above previous high values, it suggests strong buying momentum.
3. Resistance Identification: High values often act as resistance levels, where price struggles to move higher.
Practical Applications:
1. Identifying Breakout Points
2. Setting Stop-Loss and Targets
3. Momentum Trading
