Fundamental analysis and technical analysis are two main approaches to analyzing stocks. Fundamental analysis focuses on factors like financial statements, management, and economic conditions to determine a company's intrinsic value, while technical analysis uses historical stock price and volume data to identify trends and predict future movements. Key differences are that fundamental analysis is more relevant for long-term investments based on a company's performance, while technical analysis uses charts to make short-term trading decisions based on past market trends.
