The Stock Market Momentum Indicator is a proprietary stock market indicator created by the Commodity Research Bureau (crb). It is mainly used to determine the general direction of the market. Based on S&P 500 stock prices, this indicator analyzes some stocks and calculates the ratio of the percentage of those who are trading above their 50-day simple moving average.

According to crb, the Stock Market Momentum Indicator should be smoothed with two moving averages (10-day and 25-day). The basic interpretation consists of the following: The market is in a downtrend when the 25-day moving average turns down and crosses above the 10-day moving average. There are a couple of things you can do to filter out some false signals that may be generated by the latter rule. For example, you can remove signals that occur while the 25-day moving average of the stock market momentum indicator is far from 0 or 100. Other methods include using oversold/overbought indicators or divergence patterns.
