Use to find companies where this pattern is active.
Three observations have aligned: the close sits in the upper portion of the 52-week high-low range (range-position-1y elevated), ADX directional-movement asymmetry is in the upper portion of its mapped range, and the volume-weighted-returns sum over the 60-week lookback is net positive.
State
Close position in upper portion of 52-week range, ADX asymmetry elevated, volume-weighted-returns net positive
Emergence
Three observations co-occur. The range-position-1y observation (now named 'Close Position Within 52-Week High-Low Range') places the close in the upper portion of the 52-week range. ADX directional-movement asymmetry is in the upper portion of its mapped range. The volume-price-trend observation (now named 'Volume-Weighted Returns Sum Net Positive 60w') is firing. The range-position and volume observation supply up-direction readings; ADX itself is direction-agnostic.
Limits
This interpretation records three present-state observations near the upper portion of the 52-week range. It does not predict whether the 52-week high will be exceeded, indicate continuation, or assess valuation. ADX is direction-agnostic — an elevated reading says directional movement has been lopsided but not which way. Stocks in the upper portion of their range can reverse, consolidate, or continue.

Explanation
Each observation reads a different aspect of recent price-and-volume behavior: Close Position Within 52-Week High-Low Range measures where the current close sits within the past 52 weeks' high-low range. A high score means the close is in the upper portion of the range; it does not require a new high. Sustained Directional-Movement Asymmetry (ADX) smooths the asymmetry between positive and negative directional movement over the lookback. A high score means directional movement has been lopsided; the observation does not record which side dominates. Volume-Weighted Returns Sum Net Positive (60w) sums weekly returns weighted by volume over a 60-week window. A high score means the sum is net positive. It records co-occurrence of up moves with volume, not causation. When all three align, the configuration is a present-state co-occurrence near the upper portion of the 52-week range — a position observation with direction-agnostic asymmetry and volume-weighted context, not a breakout prediction or continuation guarantee.
Interpretation
This interpretation identifies a co-occurrence of three present-state observations near the upper portion of the 52-week range. It does not predict whether new highs will be made, assess valuation, or indicate entry timing. Stocks near the upper portion of their range can reverse as readily as continue.
Required Observations
Sustained Directional-Movement Asymmetry (ADX)
Movement in one direction has consistently outpaced the other over recent weeks, whichever direction that is.
Close Position Within 52-Week High-Low Range
The close sits in the upper portion of its 52-week range.
Volume-Weighted Returns Sum Net Positive (60w)
Volume-weighted price moves over the last 60 weeks add up positive.
