The stricter cousin of this scan — the 52-week high — misses stocks that spent the first half of the year recovering. A six-month high catches a repaired chart earlier: the downtrend is finished, the recent base is cleared, and there is still a supply of trapped holders above to squeeze through, which is what makes the volume check worth having.
