Technical Analysis: Interpretable and actionable for all food commodity products

by Vesper Team
New
Vesper Toolbox
Forecasting & Outlook

Summary: Vesper has launched Technical Analysis, a new forward-looking capability that translates complex market behavior into clear, actionable timing signals. Previously reserved for trading experts using specialized tools, technical analysis is now accessible to every procurement professional through simple, visual indicators. This feature helps teams identify optimal buying windows by analyzing price patterns and momentum, delivering straightforward signals that answer the critical question: "When should I act?"—no financial expertise required.

What's New:

  • Three procurement-focused indicators that signal market timing without financial jargon

  • Moving Averages show if prices are trending above or below "normal" levels

  • MACD detects when price movements are accelerating or losing steam

  • RSI identifies when markets are overheated or oversold, highlighting potential reversals

  • Clean visual signals (green/red arrows + Interpreted text) that make complex analysis instantly understandable

Why It Matters: Fundamental data tells you why prices should move, but not when the market will react. Technical Analysis bridges this gap by revealing when markets start believing the fundamental story. In volatile markets where timing can mean the difference between saving and losing on purchases in volatile markets. These indicators help procurement teams spot early trend changes, identify optimal entry points, and avoid buying at market extremes, without requiring trading expertise.

How to Use It:

  1. Add Technical Analysis to any dashboard by using the search function

  2. View the summary panel showing all three indicators at a glance

  3. Green arrows indicate upward pressure/momentum, red indicates downward

  4. Click the extended view for in depth analysis of the indicators

  5. Combine with Vesper's other forward-looking tools for complete forward looking intelligence

Related Features: Technical Analysis completes Vesper's forward-looking toolkit:

  • AI Forecasting predicts where prices are headed (the "how much")

  • Dashboard fundamentals explain market drivers (the "why")

  • Market reports provide expert context

  • Now Technical Analysis reveals entry point (the "when")
