52-Week Breakout / Breakdown

The close moves beyond the highest (or lowest) close of the past year — open sky above, or no floor below.

A 52-week high breakout means everyone who bought in the last year is in profit — there is no overhead supply of trapped sellers waiting to exit at break-even. Momentum investors treat it as strength, not expensiveness.

A 52-week low breakdown is the mirror: every holder of the past year is losing, and each bounce meets sellers relieved to exit smaller.

New highs on volume, from a long base, are the classic momentum entry.

Buying new lows because they look "cheap" is catching a falling knife — cheap can get cheaper.
