Analysis Highlights & Insights
Trend Signal Determination: The "Bearish" or "Bullish" signal is primarily based on the relationship between the Short-Term Moving Average (SMA 20) and the Long-Term Moving Average (SMA 50).
- Bearish (▼): SMA 20 is below SMA 50. This indicates downward momentum, suggesting the currency might continue ensuring lower costs if you wait (but risky if it reverses).
- Bullish (▲): SMA 20 is above SMA 50. This indicates upward momentum, suggesting prices are rising and it might be wise to lock in rates now.
Recommendation: Use the Volatility metric to gauge risk. High volatility (>10%) implies larger potential swings, warranting more conservative hedging (e.g., Forward Contracts) regardless of the trend.

Buying Strategy Comparison
This tool connects to the Frankfurter API (ECB data) to retrieve historical daily closing rates.
- Min & Max (High/Low): Calculated from the Daily Closing Prices within the selected period. (Note: Intra-day spikes are not captured by daily closing data).
-
Realized Volatility (StdDev): Measures how much the price fluctuated
during the specific selected period.
- Calculated using the Standard Deviation of Daily Log Returns.
- Annualized using 252 trading days (Standard Finance Practice). - Interpretation (4% vs 10%): If "1 Week" shows 4% volatility while "1 Year" shows 10%, it means the market was unusually calm during that specific week compared to the yearly average. Short periods reflect recent conditions, not long-term averages.
- Risk (VaR 95%): Estimates the maximum expected loss in a single day with 95% confidence, based on the period's volatility.
