It could also be said that the momentum is the rate of change in the price movement for a specific asset. Momentum also helps in indicating the stock price strength.
52-week high price: The 52-week high price helps in understanding a major portion of returns from the momentum investing. It the stock price of any company towards 52-week high, helps in improving the forecasting power of returns generated by the stock in past to generate a future return.
52-week low price: The 52-week low price is the lowest price at which the stock has traded during the last one year. It is generally considered as the support level of the stock. The traders use this to take actions on whether to sell or buy any particular stock.
Support is the price level at which the downtrend is expected to pause majorly due to an increase in the demand for the particular share. Thus, it results in the support line. On the other hand, resistance occurs where an uptrend pauses for a temporary period, as a result of increase in supply. The technical analyst uses support as well as resistance for identifying a particular price at which there is a chance which will favour a pause or a trend reversal of the existing price trend.
