So, my friend who just started trading asked me which is better Fundamental and Technical Analysis. So, this is the reply I gave which I also decided to share with others who don't know how this works hand in hand.
Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis are not inherently better than each other. Fundamental Analysis allows you to assess the potential direction of a coin's price, whether it's bearish or bullish. For instance, you can observe how Bitcoin's price has responded to positive news, which you can find on exchanges news insights, as well as popular news apps. Technical Analysis comes into play to further analyze price movements. Is just as easy as that.
Fundamental tells you what to do, while Technical tells you when to do it
If you ask me, I will say fundamental analysis is inherently better than technical analysis but if you understand the both, it gives you lead on how to survive the market. If not for the fundamental news that happened all the time, hodlers of bitcoin will wait forever to harvest their profit from bitcoin. Fundamental gives you lead, more like qualifying your technical.
If you want to set up a trade now and your basic indicators like volume, RSI, Bollinger band and EMA tells you that the market will be bullish and then you went ahead and after like 2 hours the market start to traject upward and all of sudden you read from Coindesk or Cointelegraph that Binance was hacked, there is no way you will live that trade open, you will close it fastly without waiting for stop-loss because it will he trigger in the end, this is what fundamental analysis helps you do.
As you have said, you need to know how to use it and when to use it. The market is experiencing upward moves since last week and that was because of ETF anticipation approvals. Some analyst believe that this is the window period that SEC usually approves ETFs and since we have about 8 bitcoin SPOT ETF pending applications, they might approved some and if they approve that of Blackrock, then the market will react to it, the next move or Bitcoin is going to be $40k for sure.
Put up into your mind that not all the time this market would really be having that kind of news and sentiments on which we could really be able to depend or rely on what our market decisions would be.
If you arent really that sure on how to apply fundamentals then it would really be just that right or normal on having those kind of searches whether that news is something positive or negative
but honestly by the looks and information alone would really be already be able to tell whether on which one it would be. Fundamentals nowadays are already that significant compared into those older years
on which news doesnt really make out some effect into this market which it is unlike now that whenever we do see news then the market do really make out reactions.
The wisest thing to be done is that you should really know on how to make use both things in between FA+TA on which you would really be finding it to be that relevant in speaking about
trading on which these things could really be helpful and you would really be finding it relevant for you to be able to apply it in regarding into your trades.
Although it wont really be that precise but having this kind of approach on making use of these tools and indicators and sentiments would really be beneficial.
