Technical trading relies on price action, chart patterns, indicators, and market structure. It assumes that everything — news, fundamentals, and sentiment — is already priced into the chart.

So if you’re using tools like moving averages, RSI, Fibonacci levels, or candlestick patterns — congratulations — you’re already in the technical trading camp. But Here’s The Catch...


Even the cleanest technical setup can get crushed by unexpected news.

Examples:
  • Central Bank Rate Decisions
  • Inflation Reports
  • Unemployment Data
  • Geopolitical Events
  • Corporate Earnings

This is where fundamentals come in. Why Fundamentals Still Matter for Technical Traders


Think of technical analysis like surfing — you’re reading the waves (price action) to catch a good ride. But fundamentals? They’re the storm that creates those waves.

Knowing the news doesn’t mean abandoning your technical edge — it helps you avoid bad trades or position for big moves. Smart Technical Traders Use News To:
  • Stay out of the market during high-impact events
  • Ride momentum after news confirms their bias
  • Understand market sentiment beyond the chart
  • Manage risk more effectively
