Fundamentals of course are key in determining supply and demand and ultimately the price of a commodity (or stock), but it's the technicals in my opinion that can give you insight as to when the market is ready to react to those fundamentals. 

(How many times have you read about, heard about or researched a certain stock or commodity, determined that the fundamentals were bullish or bearish, only to then take a position and watch the market go the other way? Confused and frustrated you then abandon your position only to then watch it finally go the way you had been expecting from the beginning.  And the reasons for your earlier market convictions are now being played out in the media while you stand by wondering what happened?)

Brutal, huh?  It happens all the time.

I believe that certain chart patterns reflect the collective buying and selling sentiment of the market and can in turn be used in trying to forecast future price direction and the timing surrounding it.  Keep in mind, nothing is foolproof, but I believe a strong fundamental outlook combined with a good technical viewpoint creates a very potent combination for the trader and investor.
