Different Type of Market Technical Analysis

What is a Momentum Trend?

A momentum trend is one which has more momentum than the earlier one, it can be depicted using a more steeper trend line than the one which was in place before. When a new line forms that is more steeper than a previous one we say that the trend has gathered extra power and becomes much stronger. These types of patterns requires a different type of analysis.

In the example shown below: Also when price is heading up within a channel, if it breaks the upwards channel a stronger market trend is shaped such as shown in the illustration revealed below.

This trading strategy also can be used by short-term traders such as the day and intra-day trader or the scalper, this pattern will oftenly form on the 5 minute & 15 minute chart. This parabolic trend-lines can be used to know where to tp order. A trader should immediately book his profit as soon as the steepest trend line is broken.

How Do I Trade These

The momentum trendlines are good analysis tools for determining where to take profit early before other traders. This momentum trading pattern formation occurs frequently on 1 min, 5 min & 15 mins charts and therefore suitable for scalpers & day traders. For intra-day trading which's most frequent? - the best chart to use is 15 minute sometimes 5 minutes, for example after opening a short-term position either buy/sell and the market moves some pips in your favor & you spot this setup then it is best to exit once the steep most trend line is broken & take profit at that point.

Technical Analysis Example

Trading the Momentum Market Moves

In the above illustration a trader trading long would have waited until the steep most trend line was broken then closed the trade & taking and booking profit at this place thus making profit of 42 pips on this buy trade. One would have exited the trade position at the best time & thus avoiding the ranging market that followed.

What's it?

Sometimes a market heads in a parabolic sort of manner, and this is seen when panic buying sets in and trading prices is driven vertical. During a parabolic up move, there's almost a complete absence of bears, which initiates a vacuum of buying. When this occurs traders scramble to just get into the market regardless of trading price, in the fear of being left behind. This can make the biggest and largest trading price movements in the shortest amount of time, traders will set buy trade orders in this setup.

For this type of move it's best to keep buying - no need for analysis just keep buying.

This trend will last for months on end even up to two years, for this time just keep opening buy and as long as those week & monthly trend lines are holding just keep buying & buying.

When a xauusd moves in this way, the highest level that is attained often marks and highlights the end of a move with trading prices not returning to the ultimate peaks and highs again for a long time. When this level is reached & the most steepest trendline is broken it's best to consider that as a price trend reversal and it's best to take time off the market & enjoy your profits for sometime before calculating your next move.

The same also can happen for a down trend when there is panic selling and price also is pushed vertically. This especially happens during recession.

The steeper a trendline angle, the less reliable it becomes. When the most steep is broken its best to exit this trade position. The example shown below is for oil that has initiated a parabolic pattern. Another example is gold that formed and occurred on the weekly/monthly chart during the period shortly after the steepest most line in the oil trading chart was broken.

As a trader if you come across a parabolic xauusd trend in an up direction just keep buying & buying some more & you'll more likely to make profits trading this direction, there will be no added analysis required just the trend-lines. The only thing to remember is to get out once the steepest line is over because the reversal on this setup is very fast you need to also be very fast. Just make sure you get out at the correct spot just like in the above illustration.
