52-Week Range

What Does 52-Week Range Mean?

The lowest and highest prices at which a stock has traded in the previous 52 weeks. The 52-week range
is provided in a stock's quote summary along with information such as today's change and year-to-date
change. Companies that have been trading for less than a year will still show a 52-week range even
though there isn't data for the full range.

Investopedia explains 52-Week Range


Technical analysts compare a stock's current trading price to its 52-week range to get a broad sense of
how the stock is doing, as well as how much the stock's price has fluctuated. This information may
indicate the potential future range of the stock and how volatile the shares are.

What Does Above The Market Mean?


An order to buy or sell at a price set higher than the current market price of the security. Examples of
above the market orders include: a limit order to sell, a stop order to buy, or a stop-limit order to buy.

Investopedia explains Above The Market


This is a strategy that is often used by momentum traders. For example, a stop order would be placed
above the resistance level to buy. Should the security's price break through the resistance level, the
investor may be able to participate in the upward trend.
