The more I trade, the more obvious it becomes that fundamentals and technicals answer different questions. As mentioned in the thread here, fundamentals set the tone — policy shifts, sentiment changes, macro expectations — but they rarely tell you when the move will happen. Technicals fill that gap by showing where the market is likely to react, pause, or accelerate.
Even on heavy news days, the chart still matters. Price respects structure, liquidity, and momentum, no matter what triggered the move. And when you know the upcoming events and market expectations, technical setups make a lot more sense. The balance is simple: fundamentals give you the narrative, technicals give you the timing. Together, they turn randomness into a plan. |
