Forex chart patterns.

      Forex chart patterns can be defined as the trends that a particular currency or exchange rate is following at any given time. Charts are generally used for Forex speculation, which is a market study using Forex charts to predict changes in the value of currencies. Chart patterns may be used to recognize the trends that occur in Forex prices. It also helps traders decide what currency to set their limits against, and when to enter or exit the market for maximum profit and security.
     Types of Chart Patterns. Forex chart patterns are generally separated into three categories depending on the possible direction of the trend. These are called tops, bottoms, and supports.
     Top Chart Patterns are the best indicators of a topside price change. In most cases, these indicators appear over a longer period of time than the tails, which are considered the bears. Since the top pattern is the indicator of a change in a currency's price, forex trading investors use the tops to detect potential topsides to the current trend. By using technical analysis, traders become familiar with indicators like the MACD (mingual strength index divergence), which show price action within a broader range than the traditional charts. This allows traders to detect potential topsides without the use of technical indicators.
     Bottom Chart Patterns is created when the price of a currency or an exchange rate is lower, then it is followed by its price rise. The trader will then find support at the bottom of a chart pattern, then capitalize on the opportunity. A resistance is a lower line that is formed by the lowest point of a pattern. The support shows where a trader may find resistance, if he should try to reverse its direction. Forex traders who are new to Forex trading may want to take advantage of technical indicators that show the best time to enter and exit the market for maximum gains.
     Triangle Chart Patterns are used by Forex traders to determine where they should make the most profits from their investment. Traders need to pay close attention to support and resistance levels as well as the continuation of trends. Curves form when traders get to know the general direction of a trend and try to forecast where it will go next. These Forex chart patterns often indicate areas of maximum profit potential.
     Shakers and Whorl Chart Patterns are formed when a currency is moving in a positive direction. When this trend continues, the price of that currency tends to break downward. As the price moves downward, a possible reversal is made possible, and a new trend is formed. A possible continuation of this trend is made possible by the shoulders pattern, which is characterized by the counter-trend price action. Shoulder charts are generally drawn using horizontal lines that mark the high and low points of the initial trend formation.
     continuation chart patterns are also determined by the continuation of counter-trend prices. In continuation patterns, a trend may continue breaking a certain resistance level and then breaking a new resistance level as well. This new resistance level is marked on a continuation chart patterns chart. The key point here is that a break through trend is indicated by a sharp price gain, and a break below the trend line is indicated by a drop down. Charts are usually drawn using the horizontal axes, with lower and upper highs and lows as well as resistance and support levels.
     There are essentially two types of Forex charts used in Forex trading, the bar charts and the line charts. In the Forex market analysis, the two types of charts are combined to identify the movement of currencies on the Forex market. Most Forex traders prefer to use the bar charts because they provide greater flexibility for the trader, and they offer greater clarity as well. But some Forex traders also apply the line charts, which show sharper price movement and fewer flaws in the underlying chart. A combination of the two types of charts will be used by most Forex traders in order to better understand the market.
