Technical vs. fundamental analysis

Technical analysis and fundamental analysis are the two main schools of thought in the financial markets.

As we've mentioned, technical analysis looks at the price movement of a security and uses this data to predict its future price movements.
Fundamental analysis, on the other hand, looks at economic factors, known as fundamentals.

Time Horizon

Fundamental analysis takes a relatively long-term approach to analyzing the market compared to technical analysis. While technical analysis can be used on a timeframe of weeks, days or even minutes, fundamental analysis often looks at data over a number of years.

Trading Versus Investing

In general, technical analysis is used for a trade, whereas fundamental analysis is used to make an investment. Investors buy assets they believe can increase in value, while traders buy assets they believe they can sell to somebody else at a greater price. The line between a trade and an investment can be blurry, but it does characterize a difference between the two schools.
