Momentum measures the plain difference between the current price and the price a set number of bars ago. This page reports what it actually read on E-mini S&P 500 10-minute charts — not what it is supposed to do, but the distribution of 449 recorded values over the last 90 days.
| Series | Median | Middle half | 5th / 95th | Full range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Momentum | -1.00 | -8.75 – 6.00 | -23.25 / 22.50 | -44.00 – 40.25 |

How this was measured
Every 10-minute bar of E-mini S&P 500 recorded in the last 90 days was read, and the values grouped without smoothing or filtering. Series with fewer than 400 readings are omitted rather than shown on thin evidence. These are recorded values, not forecasts.
