Equipped with many excellent analytical tools

Multiple tools are needed for chart analysis.
The choice of technical indicators and analysis tools varies depending on the trader's investment style, but TradingView is equipped with the necessary and sufficient tools to answer the demands of many traders.
So, here are some of the representative analysis tools that have been newly added this time.

 

Typical Analysis Tools

 

MACD

MACD stands for "Moving Average Convergence / Divergence Trading Method".
It is said that by using two moving averages (MACD and a simple moving average of the MACD signal), it is possible to capture market cycles to quickly grasp the right timing for buy and sell.
The crossing of the MACD and the signal line, the crossing of the MACD and the zero line, or a change in direction of the MACD or the signal line are used as buy/sell signs.

 

Ichimoku Clouds

Ichimoku Clouds is a domestic technical analysis developed by Ichimoku Sanjin (real name Goichi Hosoda).
It is said that it is easier to avoid fake signals than the moving average line because you can see not only the price up and down but also the price movement over time.
The forward span acts as resistance or support shows bullish signal above the cloud and bearish below it.

 

RSI

RSI stands for Relative Strength Index.
It is an indicator that numerically expresses the strength of price movement over a certain period of time.
The RSI ranges between 0% and 100%. Among the so-called oscillator indicators, the RSI is one of the most popular indicators.
When the range exceeds 70 to 80, it is judged as a contrarian sell (overbought), and when it falls below 30 to 20, it is judged as a contrarian buy (oversold).

 

Fibonacci Retracement

A Fibonacci Retracement is a technical analysis tool that predicts the levels of support and resistance on a chart.
The Fibonacci ratio is displayed by connecting the high and low of a swing or the high and low of one trend on the chart with a line.Values such as "23.6%," "38.2%," "61.8%," and "76.4%" are generally considered to be important.
