Trend
Overall Trend of Exchange Rates
An analysis of the exchange rates data shows a rising and falling trend with relatively small differences over the given period. The SB rate began in the range of 0.16155, and towards the end of the data set it fell to 0.16228. The peak rate in this dataset was 0.16253 on 2024-04-17 19:10:03, while the lowest rate is 0.16094 seen on 2024-04-17 14:00:02. This indicates some fluctuation throughout the time series data with minimal upward/downward trends.
Seasonality or recurring patterns
Through observing the data, we can conclude that the fluctuations in exchange rates do not necessarily follow a predictable pattern, making it difficult to identify discernable seasonality or recurring patterns. Some periods exhibited a temporary rising or falling trend, but it wasn't sustained nor did it seem to recur at any predictable time frame.
Outliers in Exchange Rates
In examining the dataset, no significant outliers were immediately detectable. Most changes between consecutive rates are relatively small, with no sudden or massive jump or fall in rates. However, the largest leap happen on 2024-04-17, at 17:00:02 where the rate suddenly jumped from 0.16097 to 0.16249. It is pertinent to keep in mind that the nature of financial markets means such fluctuations can occur due to a variety of factors.
However, it would be ideal to validate these findings with more sophisticated statistical methods such as standard deviation or interquartile range analysis for identifying outliers, and analysis methods like autocorrelation for detecting seasonality.
Additional Observations and Recommendations
- An interesting observation is that the given dataset exhibits slight volatility, where the exchange rates are fluctuating in a tight range of about 0.00155 over the course of the dates provided.
- Although comprehensive analysis has been provided based on rates and timestamps, it may be beneficial to consider additional external factors like market opening/closing hours, weekends/holidays, or the release of key financial news and reports for a deeper understanding of rates' behavior.
