What Is Momentum?

Momentum describes the speed and strength of a price move — how quickly an asset is advancing or declining.

Traders measure momentum with RSI, MACD, or impulsive candles and volume.

Why Momentum Matters

  • Why traders care: Helps separate strong directional moves from drift.
  • Playbook fit: Best with structure, volume, and risk rules.
  • Alert fit: Clear levels or thresholds become Phalerta notifications.

How Traders Use Momentum

Trade with momentum when structure agrees; fade only with a clear plan.

Example: Momentum in Practice

Rising momentum into resistance triggers a Phalerta RSI alert for management prep.
