by admin ·

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is one of the most popular technical indicators used to assess fluctuations in charting. The RSI is typically used to compare the strength of a currency and predict price movements of the same.

This indicator was developed by J. Wilder. The RSI gives more emphasis to the latest data and provides a better indication of that provided by other oscillators. Because it is less sensitive to sharp price fluctuations, it helps to sift through the unwanted noise in the Forex market and put it away.

The RSI is equal to 100 – 100 / (1 + RS) where RS is the sum of positive closing prices divided by the sum of closing prices in the negative.

The RSI helps users to predict price movements and identifying turning points in the market. An increase in the value of these data will normally be followed by an increase in the prices of currencies and vice versa, or a downward trend indicates that the currency price will probably drop.

In this article we will examine a possible methodology to use Elliott waves in the market trade forex . Before proceeding I recommend reading the introductory article to the theory of Elliott wave .

USD Forex Analysis CHF for the week of Feb. 21-25

by admin ·

Last week we were hopeful for passage of 9720, but we’ll put you on hold at these levels “A failure in 9720 and parity could redo them as quickly and to do that 9620 will be monitored between our support back down and a continuation of the increase “and eventually fail after about 9720, we end the week at 9443.

The daily MACD, we announced a bearish cross on parity definitely a sign that the dollar is very weak against the Swiss franc, to the extent that all attempts to increase resistance to crashing.
