  52-Week High Breakout is a momentum-based trading approach built around a simple market observation: Stocks making new yearly highs often attract additional buying interest as traders and investors recognize strengthening momentum. Instead of trying to buy stocks after a large decline, a breakout trader looks for stocks that are demonstrating price strength by moving above their previous 52-week high.
