When speculating in foreign exchange, people often use some auxiliary methods for foreign exchange analysis.

In the process of foreign exchange speculation, technical analysis methods are mainly statistics, calculations and charts based on research data. These methods are used to predict the future trend of the market.

The K-line was originally invented by the Japanese. The K-line chart is the most important and commonly used auxiliary chart in the current technical analysis methods.

Simply put, the rise is five waves, and the fall is three waves. The inventor and founder of the wave theory is Eliot. Investors often use wave theory to judge current market trends.
