A higher high (HH) is a swing high that exceeds the previous swing high. A market making consecutive higher highs and higher lows is in a textbook uptrend; the absence of new higher highs is the first warning that the uptrend is weakening.
Together with higher lows, lower highs, and lower lows, the HH–HL / LH–LL pattern is the backbone of structure-based trend analysis as practiced by Dow theory, Wyckoff, and modern smart-money concepts.
An uptrend is considered intact while higher highs keep printing. The first lower low after a sequence of HHs is often the first formal sign of a trend change.
Esempio
Prior swing high at 51,000. Price rallies, prints a new swing high at 52,500 — that 52,500 is a higher high, confirming continuation.
