Indicators Technical Analysis
Most indicators are shown separately from the chart usually below it. This is because the indicators often use a variant scale than that of price chart.
Other technical analysis indicators are displayed on the chart itself, like MAs Moving Averages and Bollinger Bands these are referred to as price over-lays.
Some of the more popular indicators when it comes to analysis are:
Moving Average MA (MA) - Using a variety of trading analysis studies, various types of trading signals can get to be generated from the currency charts using the MAs. The Moving Average reflects buy signals when the currency prices rise above the MA lines. Sell signals occur when price falls and drops below the moving average(MA) lines. Another technique to trade with moving averages is using the Moving Average(MA) crossover signals.
MACD is one of the trend following indicators, MACD has got a signal line that is used to generate a buy signal (above the MACD center-line) or a sell signal (below the MACD center-line).
Volume based market analysis technical indicators are used to figure out the energy of the market trends. High volume, especially near the bottom of the market can indicate the beginning of a new trend while low volume may indicate range markets or sideways oscillating market movements.
Bollinger Band shows potential points where the market movements are likely to change. Technical analysis Index setups of this technical indicator that show sharp movements in the price action tend to occur and happen when the bands tighten (the Bollinger band squeeze). While prices which touch one of the outer band tends to go all the way to the other band. Bollinger Bands move in a specific direction either up or down when there's a market trend.
These indicators are some of the most widely used indicators when it comes to daily technical analysis. To learn more about how to combine together these market analysis indicators to form a strategy go to strategies section and learn how to develop an indicator based system.
