Information on currency analysis

For a better knowledge of foreign exchange one should be updated in terms of current news and information about markets.

Economics play a major role in this, especially in equilibrium exchange rate models, an important tool for analyzing long-term exchange rate trends where they basically give you the big picture of the foreign exchange market.

Forex market depends on so many factors and it is an impossible task for economists to design fundamental equilibrium models with predictive capacity for anything other than the long term.Two types of analysis are done :-Fundamental and technical analysis 

Derived from the relative pricing of a given commodity and since an exchange rate is made up of 2 currencies, traditional exchange rate models reflect the relative pricing of a commodity between the 2 countries concerned:

Also it is  said that the foreign exchange market is very different from other financial markets such as the equity or fixed income markets due to the majority of forex traders being speculators, which may explain why in general, the traditional exchange rate models are poor predictors of exchange rates over the short term.

Not departing far from the traditional exchange rate models, there are a few analytical tools which are used by many forex traders in bridging the gap between the short-term and long-term exchange rate fundamental analysis:

Standard Accounting Identity for Economic Adjustment
J-Curve
Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER)

Also , one has to be thorough with cash flow analysis and the flow of money.

Capital flows are getting larger and move more easily due to globalization from past few years. Shifts in private capital flows can happen in absence of major changes in economic information as a result of changes in investor risk tolerance, liquidity, portfolio balancing needs, hedging needs and so on.

So, flow models essentially track the sum of client orders and transactions, comparing them to exchange rate prices in real-time and check for any correlations.

Technical Analysis

It lays  focus on price patterns within those trends. It refers to past and future analysis in terms of value of money.

It works because customer orders normally are around a certain price level which represents the consensus of market supply and demand. Below the price, there should be “support” levels at which demand is expected to exceed supply and above the price, there should be “resistance” levels at which supply exceeds demand.

These could be studied with help of tools such as the candlestick chart, moving average, relative strength index (RSI), moving average convergence divergence (MACD) and more.
