Talking Points:
• When fundamentals and technicals align, the probabilites for a trade opportunity improve markedly
• It is rare when both forms of analysis offer a strong conviction for a currency/pair/market at the same time
• We discuss how we can evaluate and reconcile fundamentals and technicals with examples of AUDJPY and the Euro

For those combing the charts, there have been some great setups amongst the Dollar, Euro, Yen crosses these past weeks and months. Yet, these patterns have been hit-or-miss with many traders drawn into trades that break from the expected path. Just as a combination of dissimilar technical indicators or methods can give a more comprehensive picture of a market, the mix of fundamentals and technicals can offer the most complete evaluation of trade probabilities that can be evaluated. Yet, rarely do we see both types of analysis give a roaring support for a trade. They are often in some state of mild to severe conflict. How do we reconcile disparities? When should their conflict keep us out of the market, give us reason for caution or encourage us to ignore one of the legs? We discuss this conflict with a focus on AUDJPY and Euro crosses in today's Strategy Video.
