There are many methods indicators and tools that are utilized in the technical analysis of currency market and they all depend on only one principle i.e. price trends and price patterns that exist in the market which would help the trader to earn profits. The different indicators in technical analysis are as follows:

2.) Trend indicators:  The persistence of the price in one direction over a period of time is considered to be a trend. The simplest way to spot the trends is the existing market is with the help of trend lines. These trend lines are drawn below price lows or else above price highs. Even though due to many latest indicators of technical analysis trend lines have gone out of trend but then and the more complicated ones are in but trend lines are still considered the most simplest and effective way of technically analyzing the currency movements.

3.) Volatility indicators:  The degree or the size of the day to day price fluctuations in any direction is explained as volatility. Usually changes in prices are due to changes in volatility. This may help the forex trader to know when to enter or exit the forex market and sometimes also help him in predicting the trend movements in the markets. May also help the trader in deciding by himself when to increase or decrease the position size.

4.) Resistance or support indicators:  The price levels at which the markets frequently rise and fall and also vice versa are very nicely described by resistance and support. A big move follows when the prices break above or below considerable resistance or support. And this reflects demand and supply. Trend lines are again a good method for deciding and implementing on the breaks.

5.) Sentiment indicators:  These indicators are of great help to the technical analyst in currency trading to find out whether the traders or investors in the forex market are bullish or bearish. These indicators can be used only when the heights of sentiments are reached. And thus they are the most powerful signs of market turning points. Thus, they are very helpful in technical analysis of the market.

6.) Cycle indicators:  Repetitive patters of movements in the market which are specific to the repetitive events are termed as cycle. In technical analysis the timing of a particular market pattern is determined by cycle indicators. Some times it is seen that cycle indicators are of less use in the technical analysis of forex currencies.

7.) Momentum indicators:  The pace at which prices move over a given period of time is referred as momentum.  The strength or the weakness of a trend over a period of times is determined by the momentum indicator. At the start of the trend momentum indicator is at the highest and at the market turning point it is the lowest. Any deviation in the price and momentum is a sign of weakness. Using the most effective momentum indicators to enter and exit the forex market can be highly beneficial.

The above mentioned are some of the indicators in technical analysis which may help the trader in forex currency trading and also help in yielding high profits.
