What Is Momentum – And Why It’s Not Just a Trend IndicatorMost traders follow price — candles, trendlines, support/resistance. But there’s another layer that often tells the story before the price moves: momentum.
⸻
🔍 In this post, you’ll learn:
• What momentum really measures
• Why it’s not the same as price direction
• How momentum can signal a shift before the chart confirms it
• Why combining momentum with structure improves timing
⸻
📈 Momentum ≠ Direction
Price can be rising while momentum is fading. That’s often a clue of an upcoming slowdown or reversal — long before the price turns. Similarly, price can be flat, while momentum builds in one direction. That’s tension… and tension leads to moves.
⸻
🔥 Why Momentum Matters:
• It reveals intensity, not just direction
• It can act as a leading indicator — not lagging
• Momentum divergences often hint at hidden accumulation or distribution
• Tracking it helps you avoid late entries or false breakouts
⸻
🔧 Takeaway for traders:
If you’re only watching price, you’re only seeing half the picture.
Momentum shows what’s driving the move, and when that drive starts weakening.

EURUSD trade ideas
A seismic shift in global trade | FX ResearchIt's being viewed as a watershed, historic moment for global trade. The US Liberation Day tariffs have certainly shaken up financial markets. In the immediate aftermath, investors have lost confidence in the US dollar, which has come under pressure across the board—particularly against other major currencies, which are being seen as attractive alternatives.
Clearly, the moves have been viewed as more aggressive than expected. Now it comes down to the global response. We’ll find out if the days ahead bring further escalation or if it’s the start of a negotiation process where some of the extremes are pared back.
Key standouts on Thursday's calendar come from German, Eurozone, and UK PMI reads; Eurozone producer prices; ECB speech; Canada trade; US trade; US initial jobless claims; US ISM services; and the ECB minutes.

News review
Liberation Day - Full-scale tariff were definitely not a good thing for the USD as investor fear of it causing a recession is currently outweighing the potential of keeping interest rates high to prevent inflation from running hot. Price has voted this way, so let's keep with it. The risk to this thesis is if Powell comes out and convinces the market that he will focus on inflation over all else and take a hard stance similar to volcker. Then we switch fundamental views.
Technical view
Breakout of the previous levels at 1.0954
With NFP coming up, I'm looking for a retrace back to near the breakout level before it, then take a high RR bet for the trend to continue to the upside.
Timeframe of bet → Till Friday around NFP
Price level of interest → 1.099 to 1.0954
Execution
Price alert set
Look for price to touch the area, and reverse
SL: 1.093 for now. Will be determined based of reversal candle and what's the low of the retracement move.
TP: Highs of 1.11
