Momentum is the trading tool that is used at forex to identify the rate of change that has been occurring in the market planned to find out the speed with which the movement in the prices of the currencies can be easily determined.

Generally the momentum indicator signifies the comparison of the current closing prices and the previous closing price but this can also be used with other indicators.

This also helps to design a short-term moving-average of the indicator to acknowledge when the trends are pulling down and when the trends are climbing high. And if the indicator attains extremely low or higher values then in comparison to the previous data, in that case trader may consider it as the current trend is continuing.

• Momentum acting as a leading indicator:

This momentum is used as the trading strategy which signifies that trends are normally recognized by a quick increase in the price, as per the expectation of the traders that trend will go higher while the bottoming of market implies about the fastest decline in the forex market.
