High-Low Midpoint %
Where the price sits relative to the middle of the day's range — above or below the session's center of gravity.
What it means
Take the midpoint of the day's high and low. High-low midpoint percent measures how far the current price is above or below it. Positive means the stock trades in the upper half of its range; negative, the lower half.
It is a compact strength gauge: a stock can be +8% on the day yet trade deep in the lower half of its range — a very different picture from +8% at the highs. This factor sees the difference; change percent alone does not.
Why traders care
- Separates "up and holding" movers from "up and fading" ones with one number.
- Cheap to combine with tape factors for confirmation.
