Momentum XAUUSD Technical Analysis and Momentum Oscillator XAUUSD Signals

The momentum indicator uses equations to calculate the line of plotting. Momentum measures the velocity with which gold price changes. This is calculated as the difference between the current gold price candlestick and the average gold price of a selected number of gold price bars ago.

Momentum represents the rate of change of the gold price over those specified time periods. The faster that xauusd prices rises, the bigger the increase in momentum. The faster that xauusd prices decline, the bigger the decrease in momentum.

As the gold price movement starts to slowdown the momentum will also slowdown and return to a median level.
