Momentum

Indicators that measure the speed of price change itself. MACD, ROC, and Momentum are the classics, used to gauge whether a move is accelerating or slowing down.
Momentum often fades before price turns, which makes these tools useful as early warnings. But price can keep pushing even as momentum cools. We test how far ahead each one tends to react and what kind of market makes that lead fail, and rate strengths and weaknesses together.
