Forex analysis and forecast: types, methods, links to useful resources
You can’t be confident that even the most accurate Forex forecast will be 100% correct. However, forecasts by forex analysts are a good opportunity to learn the opinion of expert forex traders and form your own opinion. Forex analysis and forecast, compared to the probability theory, is a more efficient instrument. From this review, you will learn how to accurately forecast forex market situations; you will also find a lot of helpful information from LiteFinance analysts.
How forex analysis and forecast is performed – analytical tools and procedures
The market is changing all the time. It means that even the most accurate forex forecast doesn’t guarantee that the price should go the way, expected by the trading analyst. But still, existing methods of analysis allow forex traders to predict the price action with greater degree of accuracy than probability theory (with a probability of more than 50%). Elliott Wave Theory says that the market is cyclical and it takes relatively stable periods of time to pass through the main phases of the cycle (growth, peak, decline, bottom). The shorter the forecast period is, the more accurate is the forecast. In other words, Forex forecast for tomorrow will be more accurate than forex weekly forecast or the forecast for a month.

It suggests that a cyclically developing trend most often rebounds from support and resistance levels, pulling back to the median price. When the price breaks out the level, you can anticipate the start of a strong trend. There are a few types of forex forecast according to important trading levels:
- Forex forecast, based on channel indicators. The channel borders are called dynamic levels. They look like curves, changing along with the price level.
- Forecast, based on strong (target) levels. For example, Adversa levels, or levels with round numbers.
- Forex forecast based on Fibonacci retracement
6. Unusual ways of Forex analysis. These are unique, original methods, based on the regularities of mathematics and statistics along with psychology. For example:
- Gann square of 9 (applied to the cryptocurrency market). It is a combination of two number sets, one of which is is circularly arranged numbers, which serve as a degree coordinate system from 0 ° to 360 °. The second set is numbers forming a spiral square, which has regularities in the arrangement of diagonals.
- Digital indicators and market spectrum analysis method (ATCF). It is forex analysis that employs technical tools, whose formulas are based on statistical regularities with the use of spectrum.
- Forex analysis, based on trading psychology. It suggests forex market forecast, based on the majority opinion and stereotypical thinking. For example, if you understand that the majority of traders will behave in a particular way, you can make the most accurate forex forecast about the trend direction, local support and resistance levels. Big market makers, reading and forecasting the levels where there will be numerous stop losses, can artificially change the price trend to ‘cut the sheep’.
