Technical Analysis

The Importance of Technical Analysis in Forex and CFDs


Investors have thousands of opportunities to trade assets online, and to become successful investors traders must identify trends and be

able to predict the future value of financial assets. The importance of Forex and CFD technical analysis is crucial to help streamline these

decisions and determine the optimal trades that meet the overall goals.

In fact, technical analysis is especially important in trading Forex to be able to forecast movements of the market, given its high volatility.



What is Technical Analysis?


Technical analysis studies the behavior of the market, primarily through the use of graphic tools, market indicators, and reports in order to

predict future trends in the price of an asset. The analysis is based on three basic premises; these assumptions are:

1. The price reflects the overall stability of an asset; there are many elements that affect the market and these are reflected in the share price.
Mainly supply and demand are causing this rise or fall in prices. As a technical analyst, you should not care about the factors
causing changes, but limit your analysis to the consequences

2. Prices move in trends; this is pretty straightforward; prices always move in trends, upward and downward, depending on the circumstances that occur at each moment in the markets. The purpose of technical analysis is to define the trends and prepare to start your trades in that direction.

3.History repeats itself; certain trends in the markets tend to reoccur again and again. It really comes in handy to perform comparisons and examine the past behavior of an asset before deciding what to do with your investment, depending on that asset’s history.


With this style of analysis, a trader will use market trends to predict the price movements of an asset in the future. The purpose of this technique is to estimate the present value of the asset but to determine patterns in the fluctuation of prices, which helps predict future activity. Understanding these models allows traders to identify potential changes in the value of assets, giving them a good indication of the upward or downward trend in the price of the asset. It’s also important to note that technical analysis is performed the same no matter what
the underlying asset you are looking at.
