Remarks

The Momentum indicator as the name suggests is the velocity with which the price is rising or falling, and hence will reflect how aggressively the asset is being purchased or sold.

Remark: Extended values and/or turning points of the momentum are good indicators of oversold or over brought conditions(respectively).
