Forex Market Analysis


Forex analysis is the process by which traders evaluate the potential movements of a currency pair, offering insights for positioning. It is a crucial tool for traders to make informed decisions in their daily trading activities, considering both fundamental and technical aspects of an asset. Fundamental analysis examines a country's economic conditions, future outlook, and central bank policies, particularly regarding interest rates. Technical analysis, on the other hand, studies historical price movements, recognizable chart patterns, and other relevant factors.
