Whether you are a swing trader or a long term investor, it is always a solid idea to know where the market is at.

How to read this is the indicator will plot positive to negative on a chart and fluctuate accordingly. One way to read the indicator is if you see price trending upward but the rate of change is sloping downward, this could be signaling a potential trend shift. Same can be said about the reverse. Understanding where the market is at allows you to enter and exit and better times than if you were just going in with a two second glance.
