Correct, momentum acceleration is generally a mean reversion signal in futures, and can be effectively combined with momentum signals i.e. you go long when it goes up but when it starts going up a lot you reduce your position.

Healthy for markets but I am guessing this will conflict heavily with the politics.

maybe, but almost everyone will see the hot iron
