52W Highs/Lows (Pre)

Overview​

The 52W Highs/Lows (Pre) profile shows only the stocks setting new 52-week highs or new 52-week lows, grouped into the two camps and colored by pre-market change. Every box is the same size, so the map is a pure count: you are comparing how many names hit each extreme, not how big they are.

New yearly extremes forming before the open are a strong tell. A pre-market crowded with fresh highs suggests breakout energy carrying into the session, while a swelling lows camp warns of distribution pressure before the bell even rings.

info

The new-high and new-low detection triggers in real time, the moment a ticker's price exceeds its highest or lowest level of the previous 52 weeks. The map updates continuously through the pre-market session.

Metrics Behind the Map​

  • New 52 Weeks High/Low: Detects when a stock's price exceeds its highest or lowest level over the previous 52 weeks, triggering in real time as the extreme is set.
  • Same Size Boxes: Every ticker gets an identical box, so the visual weight of each camp reflects the number of names, which is exactly what matters for a breadth read.
  • Change Pre Market (%): The percentage difference between the last pre-market price and the previous day's close, coloring each box by the strength of its early move.
