Q20. I often hear the term "price action." How do you read the market just from the movement of candlesticks? (Hyogo Prefecture / in her 50s / female)
A. Price movement is determined by the participants’ expectations. The answer is hidden in the price action inferred from candlestick behavior.
Professional analytical method favored by interbank dealers
When looking at charts, the method of understanding participants’ intentions and situations from candlestick movements is called price action analysis. This is a professional analysis method favored by dealers in the interbank market. Like fundamental analysis and technical analysis, there is no guaranteed method that will always work in every situation. It is, at best, a method for high-probability market analysis and increasing the likelihood of successful trades. Nevertheless, price action analysis is an extremely refined method for executing trades, on par with the other two methods. This time, we will explain its overview.
