This can be done easily as follows, let's denote your first bar index as a and the second one as b where a < b, the highest value within that range can be computed as follows:

highest = highest(close,b-a)
val = valuewhen(bar_index==b,highest,0)

with val returning the maximum value in range [a,b]. You can get the lowest value using the function lowest instead of highest.

In the case you want to find the highest value within two occurrences, you can use:

max = 0.
ma20 = sma(close,20)
ma50 = sma(close,50)
max := crossover(ma20,ma50) or crossunder(ma20,ma50) ? close : max(close,max[1])

here max is the current highest value, and reset when one of the conditions is true.
