New economic policies, trade balances and foreign investments are other factors which may strongly affect the currency value of any country. We can learn economical health of any country knowing Interest Rate and International Trade of the particular country. High Interest Rate makes many investors to sell their currencies as it may affect the economy of the country.

Technical Analysis in Forex

Relative Strength Index(RSI), Number Theory, Gaps, and Price Time Chart are some of the important parts of Technical analysis of Forex.

Relative Strength Index

RSI is the measure to find out whether the currency is overbought or oversold. It's nothing but ratio between upmoves and downmoves. When RSI is above 70, the instrument is assumed to be overbought and whereas the RSI standing at 30 or below 30 would be the signal that the instrument may be oversold. RSI standing between 30 and 70 indicates the neutral trade. Generally traders want to buy the currencies when the value of currencies keeps rising and when the value comes down traders start to sell them as they fear about further down in the value of currencies. However, it is always advisable to buy a currency when it is hoped to get further rise in value.

Number Theory

These are ones which are used to predict the turning points of trade in advance as we can avoid any loss in our trading. The ratio of any two numbers in the above sequence will come as 62% and the inverse of 62%( i.e.) 38% is defined as Fibonacci retracement.
