52 Week Low

A 52-week low is the lowest price of a stock or ETF over the past 365 days. For example, on January 1, 2022, it would be the lowest price between January 1, 2021, and January 1, 2022. Traders use it as a technical indicator to gauge support levels or potential buying opportunities, as it may signal undervaluation or overselling. A stock hitting its 52-week low could indicate weakness, but some see it as a chance for reversal if other factors align, making it a key metric in market analysis.
