Inside / Outside DaysIndicator Type: Standalone - Interactive Charts Only An Inside Day occurs when one day's high is less than the previous day's high, and that its low is higher than the previous day's low. This is usually taken as a sign of consolidation while the market waits for more signals for a direction. If it occurs after a market has had a big move, it is often taken as a signal that momentum is waning for that move. The bars for Inside Days are colored green.
