Yes, you can. If the stock price is near or approaching a 52-week high, it is not a good time to buy it because the chances are that it might be overvalued. But if you are already holding the stock, a 52-week high is a signal that you should sell your stock.
Stocks — even stocks trading on 52-week highs — don't all behave the same way. In general, stocks that trade past their 52-week highs tend to outperform the market, but there are no guarantees. The fact that a stock is trading at this level should not be the sole reason for your investment.
After a stock breaks through a 52-week high, it automatically creates a new support and resistance level. A new price target is set by subtracting the 52-week low from the 52-week high and then multiplying the figure by the Fibonacci number of 1.618.
Investors can buy a stock when it trades above its 52-week range, or open a short position when it trades below it. ... Volume should be steadily increasing when a stock's price nears the high or low of its 12-month range to show the issue has enough participation to breakout to a new level.
And get this... once the market hits a new high, there's a 90% chance it'll hit another high within four months! In other words, record highs are rarely a danger sign. Instead, they're simply stepping stones to more all-time highs, which means it's a perfect time to buy stocks.

Key Takeaways
Over the past 100 years or so the stock market has hit all-time highs on around 5% of all trading days.
It's called the Monday Effect. Anecdotally, traders say the stock market has had a tendency to drop on Mondays. Some people think this is because a significant amount of bad news is often released over the weekend.
The short answer is yes, you can lose more than you invest in stocks. ... Although you cannot lose more than you invest with a cash account, you can potentially lose more than you invest with a margin account. With a margin account, you're essentially borrowing money from the broker and incurring interest on the loan.
