Basic Analysis Methods of Forex Markets

Posted: 07 Mar 2011 06:00 AM PST

Generally, two distinct methods are used for the analysis and to predict the forex market behavior. These two methods are Technical analysis and Fundamental analysis. Both of these methods distinctly vary from each other; however forex traders can use both of these methods to get accurate results for the reading of forex markets.

These two methods work for the same goal i.e. to forecast the movement or price of the forex market.   In technical analysis, traders can study and determine the effects of market movement, while in the case of fundamental analysis traders can study the causes that trigger the market movement.

Majority of traders prefer fundamental analysis due to its broad spectrum. It can be used for both qualitative and quantitative factors involved in market movement.

Fundamental & Technical Analysis in Combination

Basically fundamental analysis is based on the future predictions about the price change based on future events. It uses various important factors and statistical methods for predicting the effects of future events such as how they will affect demand and supply and the forex rates.

Traders should bear in mind that these two methods are not reliable when used alone, so these methods should be used in combination to get accurate results.

Fundamental Analysis

It is basically the method of predicting the upcoming price movements that will be based on political, economical, and environmental factors along with many other factors. It also forecast the statistics that will affect the demand and supply of the forex market.

Basically this method of analysis involves the detailed study of forex market. It mainly focuses on the upcoming events based on the typical demand and supply, seasonal factors, climatic conditions and government policies.

Forecasting for profits

Fundamental analysis is an important tool for the strategic or macro assessment about whether a currency should be trading based on its own movement. This is greatly dependent on the economical conditions of the country of that particular currency and monetary policies along with many other basic elements.

This method used the previous and current data to forecast the future market trends. The economical conditions determine whether a country is suitable for capital inflow and foreign investments or not. Generally one can say that macro economical conditions of any country are directly proportional to the strength of its domestic currency.

Sometimes the markets can misjudge the price initially but later on the actual price will be reached. Traders can make the profit by trading the temporary price and then wait for the market to correct its mistake. Usually traders use the fundamental analysis within variable portfolio managements.

Determining Economical & Macro Factors

With the fundamental analysis traders can determine whether the market prices are overvalued, undervalued or are valued fairly. This can be done by implementing the concept of intrinsic value because the price of market tends to head closer to its intrinsic value. Investors buy the currency only if the intrinsic value of the currency has crossed the current price of market. Investors sell the currency if it is below its intrinsic value.

Behaviors of Traders

The top-down forex traders start analyzing with international economics with both the national and international economical indicators like inflation, GDP growth rates, exchange rates, energy prices, and productivity. On the other hands, the down-top investors carry out the particular currency pair, regardless of their existing position.

To conclude, to determine the upcoming trends of forex market, one has to use both fundamental analysis and technical analysis for accurate results.
