Description
The Rate Of Change Bands were created by Vitali Apirine (Stocks and Commodities, March 2021, pg. 14).
This indicator is a great method not only to check the momentum but also to assess the trend strength.
When we use the Rate of Change (ROC) with values above and below certain bands, it helps us understand the pressure behind the price momentum.
To make it simpler, think of using this indicator by itself in four different timeframes: 10, 50, 100, and 200. This combination helps us figure out how fast prices are changing and the overall feeling in the market.
