How does momentum trading work in forex markets?

Momentum trading exploits the tendency of strong moves to continue. Indicators like RSI, MACD, or Stochastic Oscillator gauge strength. Institutions deploy momentum algos to ride sharp moves after data releases. Retail traders use breakout confirmations. Benefits: capturing big trends with minimal lag. Risks: entering too late, leading to false continuation. Effective momentum trading requires filters: trade only in liquid sessions, align with higher timeframe trends, and manage exits carefully. Momentum reflects psychology—when the crowd runs, prices keep moving. Traders who align with momentum harness collective energy instead of fighting it.
