Trend
1. Understanding the overall trend of the exchange rates
As an overall assessment of the dataset, it appears that the exchange rate of FKP exhibits a slightly fluctuating trend over the period presented. The rates are observed to rise and fall over the duration, indicating a volatility inherent in the dataset. The start of the data on 2024-03-22 shows an exchange rate of 1.71804 which eventually closing at 1.71182 on 2024-04-19. However, deciphering a clear trend i.e., if it's an overall increase or decrease is difficult due to such fluctuations.
2. Identifying seasonality or recurring patterns in the changes in exchange rates
Time series data often exhibits patterns of behavior that repeat over time. Such repetition is what we call "seasonality". For the dataset provided, it's challenging to identify any seasonal or recurring pattern as the available data covers less than a month. Such patterns generally require a longer time horizon to accurately decipher.
3. Noting any outliers or instances where the exchange rate differs significantly
Outliers in the data can be instances where the exchange rate spikes or plunges drastically within a short timeframe. For this dataset, a noticeable outlier can be noted on 2024-04-10 starting from 1.70064 and shooting up to 1.71194 in just two hours, and reaching up to 1.71751 by 14:00 of the same day - a significant shift within a short period. Another instance is found on 2024-04-12, the exchange rate skyrockets from 1.7162 on 22:00 of 11th April to 1.72888 by 14:00 of 12th April.
These such sharp variations in the data are extraordinary and are examples of outliers. Those could be as a result of an unprecedented event which couldn't be justified by time series analysis alone and may require external information of what occurred on these dates to be thoroughly understood.
