Price Momentum Oscillator

PMO

Applies two successive EMAs to a rate-of-change calculation, producing a very smooth momentum oscillator. Developed by DecisionPoint, it is used to identify overbought/oversold conditions and momentum divergences on longer timeframes.

Tips

PMO’s heavy smoothing makes it best suited to weekly or monthly charts for identifying major trend changes rather than short-term entries
PMO diverging from a long price uptrend (lower PMO highs while price makes higher highs) is a reliable warning of an impending correction
