Spanish term or phrase: modementos ágidos
I would appreciate your help with the term "modemento ágido" as I am unable to find its meaning. I have provided some context below.

El sector de la Construcción e Inmobiliario es un sector que se caracteriza por ser altamente procíclico, tendiendo a ser mucho más vulnerable y volátil a la recesión que muchos otros sectores, viendo reducido drásticamente su mercado potencial y experimentando una destrucción del tejido empresarial de dicho sector.
A lo largo del presente informe se han identificado las principales fortalezas y amenazas del sector que influyen en la valoración de la calidad crediticia del mismo.
El sector de Construcción e Inmobiliario es un sector actualmente en declive, altamente competitivo consecuencia de una baja diferenciación de muchas de sus líneas de negocio, y con bajas barreras de entrada y salida que facilitan la incorporación de nuevos competidores en los modementos ágidos del ciclo.

Thank you in advance!

peaks


Explanation:
It's a little strange, but it appears a typo for "momentos álgidos", which is a common phrase to mean peaks of high points in economic cycles.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for your help on this term. I assigned the points to the other answerer because she had also identified the issue and provided an answer, albeit only a couple of minutes before you! This is a case where the option to split points would be a great help but unfortunately I couldn't do that :-(
