Technical analysis is a dynamic market research conducted with the help of charts in order to predict the movement of a price. The use of technical analysis in forex trading, based on the following assumptions:
* Market movements reflect all the factors that influence it.
This is an important factor to understand technical analysis. Any factor affecting the market, whether economic factors, political, or purely psychological factors, the overall impact can be seen resulting from currency movements recorded in the chart. In other words technical data recorded in the chart gives a comprehensive picture of market dynamics. With this assumption a technical analyst who studied the charts and various technical indicators to try to understand what is happening in the market and trying to predict the movement of what would happen next.
* Prices move followed the trend
This assumption is the basis of all methods of technical analysis. If the movement of currency fluctuations purely random and does not have the technical trend of the analysis was not possible. But because currency movements have a trend of the technical analysis efforts to be possible and useful. The assumption that price movements follow the trend raises two effects. The first, the trend is going to continue normally and did not turn around without cause. The second, the trend will continue until another trend emerged and influenced the market.
* History is always repeated
Market dynamics are influenced by the behavior and actions of market participants. After all the action and reaction from market participants have a repeating pattern because apart from the characteristics of human nature is influenced by ‘Greed and Fear’ (greed and fear) the market makers also learned from experience that occurred in the past. With this assumption the technical patterns that have emerged in the past can be applied to predict the market movement will happen.
