Why Fundamental Analysis in Forex Really Matters?

[Mdraghib]

Most of us focus on charts, indicators, and patterns. But let’s be real—if you’re only looking at the technical side, you’re missing the bigger picture. That’s where fundamental analysis in forex comes in.


Things like central bank decisions, inflation numbers, jobs data, or even political events can push currencies way harder than any RSI or MACD signal. Just look at how the dollar reacts every time U.S. jobs data or Fed announcements drop.


Personally, I use fundamentals to set my bias (bullish or bearish) and then rely on technicals to time my entries/exits. Works much better than trading blind off charts alone.


What about you guys—do you lean more on fundamentals, technical, or a mix of both?
