JAPAN225 12th JANUARY 2023The trendline is the most common part of technical analysis in forex trading. But when compared to support and resistance, trendlines are less commonly used. The trendline should be more significant due to the number of touches.
Trendlines are very suitable in combination with several technical indicators, one of which is the Money Flow Index (MFI).
MFI is an indicator used to measure money inflows and outflows, both from local and foreign investors in the stock. Since MFI measures money inflows and outflows, it also involves volume in its indicator.
In other words, MFI also measures market interest in a stock (inflows and outflows are closely related to market interest). That's why MFI also includes volume in its indicator.
How to read the MFI indicator is very easy, almost the same as how to read other indicators, such as the relative strength index, stochastic, and others.
MFI has 2 main boundary lines, the overbought and oversold lines. The overbought line is at 80 and above. The oversold line is at 20 and below (note the arrow above). This means that if the MFI indicator is at 80 and above, there has been too much money inflow from investors, which causes the stock price to rise, thus causing overbought.
Meanwhile, if the MFI indicator is at 20 and below, there is too much money outflow from investors, which causes the stock price to fall, causing oversold.
