Fundamentals = the “why” behind the move. Technicals = the “where”.
1. Rate decisions > CPI > NFP - Central banks control money flow. Everything else reacts to them.
2. Don’t trade the news, trade the reaction - Price often spikes both ways first. Wait 15min after high-impact news.
3. Bias vs Execution- Use fundamentals for weekly bias: bullish USD? Then only take longs on USD pairs. Use technicals for entry.
You don’t need an economics degree. You need to know what the market cares about _this month_.
Which fundamental event burns your account most? NFP, CPI, or FOMC?
