Momentum

Distance of price from its trailing moving averages, plus 30-day return — measures how stretched a trend is.

Momentum on this site is not the academic factor — it is a pair of distance-from-MA readings and a 30-day return, used to characterise whether a market is uptrending, mean-reverting, or rolling over.

Components

• Distance from 50DMA — current close minus 50-day SMA, in percent. Sustained readings above +5% are stretched; below -5% are oversold.
• Distance from 200DMA — same idea, longer horizon. The 200DMA crossing is a regime-change marker.
• 30-day return — total return over trailing 30 calendar days.
• Sector exposure — relative strength of GICS sectors over trailing 1 / 5 / 20 days, presented as a heatmap on the dashboard.
