Thanks to the Westen mass media, many people have an assumption that Russian economy is on the continuous decline since:

a) Forever
b) Creation of the Russian Federation
c) For many, many years
If you trade or used to trade stocks/currency/commodities or know the most basic technical analysis the chart above should be self-explanatory for you.

For people who have no idea what those lines mean — here is the explanation.
Two most basic indicators that nearly ALL traders/investors use are trend lines and support/resistance levels. On the chart above you can see three major corrections in 1998, 2008 and 2014 but the Russian economy keeps rebounding to new highs after a period of consolidation.

I am using GDP purchasing power parity (PPP) charts because. In my opinion, the nominal numbers do not show the actual well-being of citizens.

Despite all the heavyweight sanctions that had been thrown at Russia between 2014 and 2015, the most recent correction has never reached 2008 lows. I believe the bottom was found and the country economy goes through a period of consolidation again. Purely, from the technical point of view, we should expect a significant wave up within next 2-3 years.

What about the Ruble?

Pretty much same goes for the Russian national currency — mighty Ruble (RUB).


After post-Crimea panic dump combined with collapsing oil prices, RUB demonstrated its real power by confidently going up against USD in the following months.

On that note, I would like to finish this brief analysis. As a matter of fact, using technicals exclusively, without taking into consideration fundamentals is no better than using astrological charts. For this reason, in my next post, I will cover one of the most important fundamental indicators applicable for any country — demography.
