The trader can use it to understand the velocity of price change and whether a trend is strong or nearing exhaustion.&nbsp; As a race car fan, and with the Formula one season about to start, we can use a car\u2019s acceleration as a proxy for momentum.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine a car accelerating onto a highway.&nbsp; It will get faster quickly at first, from 10-20, 20-30, 30-40mph.&nbsp; The rate of change is the same.&nbsp; But as you approach the highway speed limit the car will continue to get faster but at a slower rate.&nbsp; The car will get faster more slowly! From 40-45, 45-48, 48-50. At the speed limit (50mph in New Jersey) you are likely to stop accelerating or risk the long arm of the law!&nbsp; Decreasing acceleration therefore precedes top speed.&nbsp; Most likely, we will then eventually slow down to exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"664\" src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/86648f1d850a44beb0b9b049c3198a50-screenshot-2026-02-18-072452-1100x664.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-239254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/86648f1d850a44beb0b9b049c3198a50-screenshot-2026-02-18-072452-1100x664.avif 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/86648f1d850a44beb0b9b049c3198a50-screenshot-2026-02-18-072452-700x423.avif 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/86648f1d850a44beb0b9b049c3198a50-screenshot-2026-02-18-072452-300x181.avif 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/86648f1d850a44beb0b9b049c3198a50-screenshot-2026-02-18-072452-768x464.avif 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/86648f1d850a44beb0b9b049c3198a50-screenshot-2026-02-18-072452-1536x927.avif 1536w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/86648f1d850a44beb0b9b049c3198a50-screenshot-2026-02-18-072452.avif 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So it is with price momentum.
