What is Previous Day High?

Previous Day High is market-structure terminology used to describe the relationship between swings, trend direction, ranges or important price boundaries. It names what the chart is doing without requiring a separate indicator.

Previous Day High matters because it gives analysts a consistent way to discuss price-structure interpretation. Market-structure terms describe how successive highs, lows, ranges and breaks relate to one another without requiring a separate indicator.

How to read Previous Day High

Read Previous Day High as a reference boundary for the defined session or lookback period. The first question is always which market hours and timezone the chart uses.

What Previous Day High does not tell you

It focuses on an upper price, range or participation reference and should be read relative to the surrounding timeframe. Parameter choices, timeframe and data quality can materially change the result.

Use in bonds, rates and macro markets

A yield breakout and a bond-price breakout have opposite directional implications for rates, so the charted variable must always be identified.

BondStats interpretation rule

Technical chart structures are context, not certainty. BondStats does not present a candlestick, drawing tool, indicator reading or chart pattern as a standalone investment recommendation. Where a concept depends on discretionary anchors or parameter choices, those choices should be made explicit.
