What is a year high?
← Back to FAQ
A year high refers to the highest price at which a financial asset, such as a stock, has traded during the past 12 months. It is often used by investors to assess how the current price compares to its recent peak.
A year high shows the highest price reached by an asset over the last year.
In financial markets, the year high is an important reference point in both technical and fundamental analysis. Investors may view prices near the year high as a sign of strong momentum or positive sentiment, while others may see it as a potential level of resistance where selling pressure could increase. Comparing the current price to the year high can help investors evaluate performance and identify potential opportunities or risks. However, reaching a year high does not guarantee that prices will continue to rise, as market conditions can change quickly.
Short example:
Suppose a stock has traded between $40 and $80 over the past year.
The highest price it reached was $80, which is its year high.
If the stock is currently trading at $75, it is close to its year high and may be seen as performing strongly.
