Technical analysis and forecasts

Currencies are believed to move in cycles, which means that one may try to estimate and predict their future fluctuations. Technical analysis helps to look into behavior of currency pairs on the basis of traded value, movement direction, investors’ common interests, and fluctuations history.

Technical analysis offers a trader a range of patterns that can predict price movement. Some of them predict a price reversal in one direction or another, others - a repetition of changes. To make it easier to use technical analysis, there is a number of indicators that include several parameters from the price chart. So, both experienced and novice traders can resort to technical analysis - it is believed that both of them should be familiar with the basics of technical analysis. It should be noted that forecasts made based on technical analysis cannot be considered 100% accurate, but they can still make trading more efficient. This page presents conclusions and forecasts made by RoboForex experts based on tech analysis.

Bill Williams’ Indicators Analysis 21.05.2013 (USD/CAD, NZD/USD)

At the H4 chart of the USD/CAD currency pair, the Alligator is moving upwards, but closing its mouth slowly. The price is forming a bearish fractal; AO and AC indicators are in the red zone; there is a Fade bar on the MFI; however, there might be a Squat one too. I’m keeping my buy order; a protective stop is below the Alligator’s teeth.
