Momentum: The most robust edge in crypto trading

Momentum is the tendency of an asset’s price to continue moving in the same direction once it has started.

There are X basic types of momentum:

a) Short-term momentum
In crypto, a momentum lasting 1-5 days, the initial price explosion before the first big correction.

b) Long-term momentum
In crypto, this is a period of several weeks, often called trend following.
