Consecutive Higher Highs 10Cross-asset & regime

Timeframe M1 · unit count

What it measures

Counts how many bars made a higher high versus how many made a lower low over the last 10 bars, returning the signed difference. A positive score means highs are consistently expanding upward; negative means lows are consistently breaking down.

How Janira reads it (bullish vs bearish)

Range approximately -9 to +9. Values above +2 indicate a sequence dominated by higher highs - the bar structure is building upward. Below -2 indicates lower lows dominating - the bar structure is breaking down. Near zero means a mixed structure where both expansions and compressions occur simultaneously.

In plain language

Imagine a staircase: each bar either adds a new step upward (higher high) or breaks one downward (lower low). This score tells you how many more upward steps than downward steps were built in the last 10 bars.

Scenarios

• Score > 4: Sustained higher-high expansion; the price structure is building an upward staircase consistently over the window.
• Score -2 to +2: Mixed structure; some bars expand up, others down; no consistent directional bias in bar extremes.
• Score < -4: Sustained lower-low breakdown; the price structure is repeatedly breaking to new session lows within the window.
• Score transitioning from strongly negative to positive: Bar structure is reversing from breakdown to expansion - a potential structural inflection.
