What is the Momentum indicator?

Momentum indicator is a technical analysis tool that helps traders find the possible trends and reversals using the past data of a security. This indicator measures the speed or rate at which the security price changes. It helps traders to identify whether an asset is at an oversold level or overbought level or whether it is trending up or down. This indicator complements other trend indicators really well as they only pinpoint a time period in which the change in the market price is taking place. It is never advised to use the Momentum indicator solely but rather you should use the combination of the Momentum indicator with the trend indicators to gain the best results.
