Time since higher close
Market Structure· DE: Hoch-Abstand
How long the price has not been this high: the calendar days since the last daily close above today’s close. Undefined (infinite) at an all-time high. Mirror of price-time displacement: displacement asks how old today’s price is, time since higher asks how long it went unmatched. Descriptive, not a signal.
Calculation
high_age(t) = t − max{ s < t : close_s > close_t } in calendar days (previous-greater-element stack); null at an all-time high close. Completed UTC daily closes, no look-ahead.
