Learning how to identify areas where multiple barriers are can be very profitable for traders. Several kinds of cost barriers are in the Forex market. It is common for pairs of currency to reverse direction at these barriers. When traders learn how to combine them, traders are able to develop a system of trading with better chances to make good trades. Some barriers contain resistances levels, support levels, Fibonacci levels and psychological barriers. Barriers on trend lines and at pivot points can also enhance our observation. Now lets look at the various kinds of barriers common in the Forex market.
Support and Resistance Levels
Support and resistance levels are huge changing points that the market has used before in the past. The more times the market has used them, the stronger they are. Support is seen as the changing point where the buyers put themselves at the top which made the currency pair go up. Resistance is any level at which the market finished rising and turned down. Support and resistance levels on larger time charts are considered better than those on smaller time charts.
Psychological Barriers
Psychological barriers are identified as huge numbers. A numeral ending in 50 or 00 is a great barrier. A number with the last numbers of 000 is more significant. You will be amazed at how much a currency pair exhausts itself and changes direction within a few pips of a psychological barrier.
Fibonacci Levels
Fibonacci lines are often used to determine if a point has the potential to reverse. Start with your larger time charts and draw Fibonacci lines on big moves. Drill down and mark all smaller moves. See where your Fibonacci lines, psychological barriers and support and resistance lines match.
Trend Lines
Make trend lines to mark all major moves and then work your way down to smaller trends. If you ever run into trend lines that go in the same direction, mark them. To do this, draw lines following the bottoms of an upward trend and make lines following the highest points of a downward trend.
Pivot Points
Most packages for charting have either a calculator or a tool that places your pivot points. These are areas at which the currency pair is likely to turn. Most tools and calculators offer several numbers both below and above the current levels of the currencies you follow.
Making lines to mark the various barriers that we always see in the FX market can help us identify the points that a pair will most likely change. Take note of those levels where many barriers correspond. This strengthens the chance of making trades that will make us money. The more barriers that meet at a given number, the more significant that barrier is.
