uptick (redirected from upticks)

Uptick

A transaction occurring at price above its previous transaction. In order for an uptick to occur, a transaction price must be followed by an increased transaction price. This is commonly used in reference to stocks, but it can also be extended to commodities and other forms of securities.

Notes:

For example, suppose stock ABC previously traded at $10, if its next trade occurred at a price above $10, then ABC would be on an uptick.
