So what is the difference between fundamental and Technical Analysis?

To ask which strategy is superior to one another would be an endless discussion. Both methods have proven to be highly effective when applied properly.

The main difference of the two strategies is that fundamental analysis determines the actual value of a stock or asset. Technical analysis determines the future price trend of a stock by using charts and graphs to identify patterns. 

Fundamental analysis is commonly used for long-term investing purposes whereas technical analysis is preferred for short-term & swing trading. 

For fundamental analysis the decision to buy or sell at a certain price is made based on all the data and performance that has been achieved from both the past and the present. For technical analysis the decision to enter or exit at the correct time will be made based on the market trends and prices of a stock that have occurred in the past.
