The technical analysis helps in forecastsing the fluctuations in the currency price and the future market trends by taking into account all the past market trends. The technical analysis stresses on that actual happenings of the market taking into account the price movements of the currency and the volume of trading that is further used for creating charts.

There are certain principles which form the basis of technical analysis. These principles consider the actual price has the reflection of all the market factors that can affect the pricing of the currency like the factors demand and supply, market sentiment and other political and environmental factors. But certain technical analysts only take price movements into consideration with out taking into account the reasons for the fluctuations in the currency. Technical analysis identifies market behavior patterns which have been identified as significant. This helps in providing a high probability of producing the expected results in the forex market as these patterns tend to repeat consistently. And in the forex market the saying history repeats itself goes very well. The chart patterns which have existed from the time of the forex repeat themselves after a period of time.
All the currency price fluctuations of the forex formed the basis for forex charts. There are five major categories in forex technical analysis theory: indicators/ oscillators, gaps, waves, number theory and trends.
There are several technical analysis tools which help in calculating currency price fluctuations.
Relative strength index (RSI) is one of the indicators used in technical analysis. It measures the ratio of the upward and the downward movement of the prices expressing them as the range between 0-100 after normalizing the calculations. The currency is said to be overbought if the RSI is equal to or greater than 70. And the currency is said to be oversold if the RSI is less than or equal to 30.
Stochastic oscillator also indicates the overbought and oversold currencies in the range of 0-100%. The two lines %K and %D indicate the overbought/oversold currencies.
Moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) is an indicator which deals in plotting of two momentum lines. The signal produced by the crossing of MACD and trigger lines refers to the likely change in the trend.
Gaps are referred by spaces to the time when no trading takes place on the bar chart. If the lowest price is higher than the highest price of the previous trading day and upgap is formed and it signifies market strength. A down gap signifies market weakness and is formed when highest price is lower than the lowest price of the previous day. The breakaway gap is the significance of price movement and is formed when an important price pattern is completed. A run away or measuring gap has its occurrence around the midpoint of an important market trend. And extortion gap depicts the ending of an important trend.
Elliott wave theory is based on repetitive wave patterns and Fibonacci number sequence. A five wave advance followed by a three wave decline is a representation of an ideal Elliott wave patterns.
Fibonacci numbers is calculated by the addition of first two numbers to get a third number (1,1,2,3,5,8). Fibonacci retracement number is the ratio of any number to the next larger number that is 62% and 38% which is in worse of 62%.
Gann numbers were discovered by W.D.Gann who was a stock and commodity trader and develop his own trading methods based on time and price movements. These are called time/price equivalents but his charts also predict resistance and support levels.
Trend is the direction of prices. The peaks and troughs on the rise depict uptrend and falling troughs depict the downtrend. Trend reversal is depicted by a broken trendline. The moving averages are used in smoothing price information for accurate results.
There are certain technical tools used commonly known as coppock curve and DMI. The coppock curve predicts bear market lows. DMI or directional movement indicator determines existence of the trending of the currency pair.
The fundamental analysis forecasts the future price movements in the market and the basis for this are political, the financial and environmental factors which effect the demand and supply of the currency. Many traders use combination of fundamental as well as technical analysis for their trading strategy. The fundamental analyst lays much stress to understand a particular market thoroughly. The main objective of the fundamental analysis is on the future happenings in the Forex forecast market. The factors which are involved in fundamental analysis are demand and supply, environmental factors, government policies and bank interest rates.
The fundamental analysis involves the study of the cause of the market movement or the currency price movement.
The trades which are made prior to or shortly after any major financial announcements turn out to be more profit. So if the trader is aware of the forex forecasts and Forex forecast methods then the trader can earn huge profits.
