A 52-week high is the highest price reached by a stock over the last 52 week. It is an important technical level for investors and traders looking at price action and breakouts. When a stock gets close to its 52-week high, it tends to draw more buying interest, whereas a move above this point can be a sign of strong momentum. NSE 52-week high shares are those traded on the exchange and have touched new highs over the last year, while BSE 52-week high shares are those touching new highs on the BSE.

Stock prices move daily, forming highs and lows during trading periods. A 52-week high is determined from the stock's closing price, not intraday highs. A stock that moves to a new high during the day but closes lower will not be counted as a 52-week high. Traders closely follow stocks at this level because a breakout or inability to maintain momentum can dictate future price action.
