The analysis of price action is now the staple of traders as the age of the internet has integrated real-time trading prices that are recorded on charts. Traders prefer technical analysis because of fact that the chart is priced for any news or fundamental analysis Technical analysis is like looking into the market mind to see what it is going to do next based on historical data as opposed to what is predicted to do based on the news.
The forex market has many of the same technical methods used in stock trading activities as well. The price action, trend, Supply and Demand, support and resistance levels will be assessed by a professional forex trader. Some of the patterns used in equity trading, including those listed above, are also traded in foreign exchange. In fact, the indicators and oscillators applied to a price chart are really close between Forex markets and the Stock Market. In a technical traders toolbox, moving averages, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Relative, stochastic tend and Strength Index, is some of the more common tools used in the chart.
What is Technical Analysis?
Technical analysis is based on the assumption that market prices are moving in patterns, and that those trends are repeated over time. Data on the price, time, and volume of the trade and all others are plotted on a chart. The plots shape patterns which can be analyzed to show what is going to happen next. When did supply and demand change, and why? And what does with future demand and supply?
Technical analysis is straightforward and simple, from the experienced hedge fund manager to the beginner trader, everyone is accessible to Technical analysis. However, technical methods are easier to understand than fundamental, which usually requires time and study to understand. Actually, the technical analysis focuses specifically on the price action, supply and demand, and support and resistance which really help Forex market traders to understand the proper and clear analysis of the chart.
A release of economic data or the news event can theoretically, affect the price in a particular way. For example, an increase in US jobs should have a beneficial impact on the US Dollar. The EUR / USD must go down as a result. Most likely a fundamental investor will enter a Sell on EUR / USD. This is only happening in theory. In fact, things are far very from being perfect. Important news in the U.S. could indeed cause an increase in EUR / USD and others USD pairs as well.
