Provides a measure of price momentum. Positive values indicate a strong upward momentum, while negative values indicate a strong downward momentum. Values close to zero indicate a lack of strong momentum in either direction. The indicator’s magnitude will depend in large part to the volatility of the market and the magnitude of price movement.
