TRADING CONSIDERATION

Combining fundamental news analysis along with technical analysis offers the trader the best of both worlds and will minimize surprises while trading.  Some traders purposely avoid trading on days with economic releases because the market may become temporarily volatile only to settle back towards the original trend

Also, technical traders might avoid known risk events like major economic data releases since one of the key assumptions of technical analysis – “Price Discounts All” tends to breakdown during the period immediately after the announcement as the new information is assimilated into price.
