MOM - Momentum

Momentum measures the rate of acceleration of a security's price and/or volume. It is a technical analysis indicator and oscillator used to determine market trends. While the term "momentum" can broadly refer to the speed of market movement, the Momentum indicator specifically analyzes these changes to help traders identify potential trend directions and reversals.
