Plotting Reversals with 10 period LookUp indicator

This code displays a spike and paints a bar whenever the current price crosses the 10-period High or Low. I want it to only show a spike and paint on reversals. Any ideas?



LookCross_10_2_lower


Code:
declare lower;

def crossHI = high crosses above highest (high [1], 10);

def UPcross = CrossHI AND sum(CrossHI[1],2)==0;

Alert(UPcross, "Look10 BUY", Alert.BAR, Sound.ring);



def crossLO = low crosses below lowest (low [1],10);

def DNcross = CrossLO AND sum(CrossLO[1],2)==0;

Alert(UPcross, "Look10 SELL", Alert.BAR, Sound.ring);



plot UPspike = if upcross then +1 else 0;

plot DNspike = if dncross then -1 else 0;

AssignPriceColor(if UPcross then Color.green else if DNcross then Color.red else Color.gray);
