    The rocv2.1 indicator is classified as a velocity or momentum indicator due to its ability to gauge the strength of price momentum via its rate of change.

The rocv2.1 indicator is plotted against a zero level, which separates the positive and negative values.

When the values of the rocv2.1 indicator increases in either direction, negative or positive, depicts surging momentum, and declining values is indicative of diminishing momentum.
