Price Strength

What is price strength?

The price strength is a momentum indicator that measures how strongly the market is moving towards either a bullish or a bearish trend.

How is the price strength calculated in the context of the stock markets?

The total number of stocks that have hit their 52-week high is divided by the total number of stocks to calculate the % of stocks near their 52-week high. Similarly, the % of stocks near their 52-week low is calculated. The latter is then subtracted from the former to give us the price strength of the market.
