A visual guide to market trading using intermarket analysis and
exchange-traded funds
With global markets and asset classes growing even more
interconnected, intermarket analysis–the analysis of related
asset classes or financial markets to determine their strengths and
weaknesses–has become an essential part of any trader’s due
diligence. In Trading with Intermarket Analysis, John J.
Murphy, former technical analyst for CNBC, lays out the technical
and intermarket tools needed to understand global markets and
illustrates how they help traders profit in volatile climates using
exchange-traded funds.
Armed with a knowledge of how economic forces impact various
markets and financial sectors, investors and traders can profit by
exploiting opportunities in markets about to rise and avoiding
those poised to fall. Trading with Intermarket Analysis
provides advice on trend following, chart patterns, moving
averages, oscillators, spotting tops and bottoms, using
exchange-traded funds, tracking market sectors, and the new world
of intermarket relationships, all presented in a highly visual
way.
