What Does Price Persistence Mean?
The
tendency of a security's cost to continue moving in its present
direction. A stock that has been in a strong upward or downward trend
for weeks will display a high degree of price persistence. Conversely, a
stock that has been trading in a choppy manner for an extended period
of time will display a low degree of price persistence.
Investopedia explains Price PersistenceOpinion
is divided on the investment merits of stocks displaying a high degree
of price persistence. Technical analysts who believe that the "trend is
your friend" may consider a stock in a strong upward trend as a good
investment candidate based on the view that the stock's move higher will
continue. Others may consider such a stock as overbought, and therefore
a sell candidate or one to which fresh capital should not be committed.
