O que são indicadores Forex?

Forex indicators are analytical tools that traders use for technical analysis of market movements. These indicators help you decide when to enter or exit a trading position based on historical data of prices, trading volumes, volatility, and other factors. 

Indicators are divided into two main categories: 

1.     Lagging indicators: Used for following existing trends and trend confirmation.

2.     Leading indicators: Predict future price movements and are suitable for identifying potential market reversals.

 

The most well-known and widely used indicators:

1. Moving Average (MA)

The moving average is a basic indicator that displays the average price of an asset over a specific period. It identifies opportunities when the market is either overbought or oversold and signals a time for a “return” to the average. 

2. Índice de Força Relativa (RSI)

RSI is an oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It ranges from 0 to 100. 

·        Values above 70: Market is overbought (possible downward correction). 

·        Values below 30: Market is oversold (possible price recovery). 

·        Usage: Identifying overbought or oversold market conditions and divergences between price and RSI. 

3. Divergência de convergência de média móvel (MACD)

MACD is both a trend and momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two EMAs (usually 12-day and 26-day). 

·        Positive values: Strong uptrend. 

·        Negative values: Strong downtrend. 

·        How to use: Used for locating signal line crossovers and divergences as buy or sell signals. 

4. Bandas de Bollinger

Bollinger Bands are a volatility indicator that displays three lines: a middle SMA and two bands (upper and lower) reflecting deviations from the average. 

·        Price at the upper band: Possible overbought condition. 

·        Price at the lower band: Possible oversold condition. 

·        Usage: To look for volatility conditions and trading ranges. 

5. Oscilador Estocástico

The Stochastic Oscillator measures the closing price position relative to the price range over a specific period. 

·        Values above 80: Market is overbought. 

·        Values below 20: Market is oversold. 

·        Function: Trading: based on divergences and signal line crossovers. 

6. Retração de Fibonacci

Fibonacci retracement uses horizontal lines to identify possible support and resistance levels based on key Fibonacci ratios (e.g., 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%). 

·        Usage: To predict possible bounce points or trend continuation levels. 

7. Volume

Trading volume tracks the number of contracts or asset units traded. High volume can signal a strong price movement.
