"First, the P/E multiple was 15.12x on Dec. 1, giving a 6.6 percent dividend yield that is higher than the 4.25 percent SIBOR rate. Secondly, the market still has ***upside potential***, as the price to book ratio was only 3.6 last week, significantly lower than its all time-high of 13 in February last year."

6 hrs confidence: |
| upward pressure
Explanation:
I submit this as being closer to the original metaphor. "Momentum" implies that the market is already moving in that direction. "Forces" capture the metaphor properly, but this term seems both more natural and more common, IMHO.
