FOREX ANALYSIS: TECHNICAL AND FUNDAMENTAL

Forex analysis is based on monitoring all indicators that affect exchange rate fluctuations. First of all, these are macroeconomic indicators. These include the country's GDP, inflation, interest rates, etc. As a rule, these data are presented in countries' macroeconomic reports. After they are released, the exchange rate may change dramatically. See the economic calendar to learn the frequency of releases of such information.

Forex technical analysis uses information about exchange rate fluctuations over different time periods. Future exchange rates are forecast based on past or current data on exchange rate fluctuations. This type of analysis of the currency market uses various mathematical forecasting methods to help traders quickly draw conclusions about the situation on the market and make decisions on buying or selling a currency.

BASIC AXIOMS OF FOREX TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Forex technical analysis is based on three main axioms:

• Prices include everything

This implies that all information that can affect the currency exchange rate has already been taken into account, and there is no need to further study the dependence of the exchange rate on political and macroeconomic factors for Forex technical analysis.

• Price follows the trend

This axiom means that rates do not change randomly, but follow certain trends or a forex trend. Therefore, time rows of fkuctuations in exchange rates can be divided into intervals, in which the rate moved in one direction, subject to one of the three trends: descending, ascending, or sideways.

• History repeats

This axiom means that currency exchange rate fluctuations usually follow a cyclical pattern: rises are followed by recessions, sideways market movements and new rises, and if certain methods of technical analysis have worked in the past, they will work in the future, since they are based on human psychology, which remains unchanged. That is, forex trends tend to repeat themselves.

The process of technical analysis of the currency market is based on identification of individual trends and (or) so-called patterns—typical chart shapes or formations. Flag, Double Top, and Triple Top are the most famous patterns in technical analysis. The Head and Shoulders formation is a type of a triple top, whose first and the third peaks are lower that the second one. You can also encounter triangular-shaped patterns when analyzing Forex. Based on the identified trends and using various methods of technical analysis, conclusions are drawn about where the currency exchange rate is going, and a decision is made on the best option for entering and exiting a transaction.

Despite the fact that many currency traders consider it more rational to use technical analysis, in our opinion, one should not rely solely on technical analysis when trading. You should also not limit yourself to only using the fundamental Forex analysis. In reality, correct combination of these two methods is the basis of successful currency trading. Therefore, if you want to earn a high income by trading, you should pay equal attention to both fundamental and technical analysis of Forex.
