How does red results equal positive movement?

Hi everyone,
Well I made the mistake of trying to trade using mostly the fundamental announcements today only to be reassured that they mean absolutely nothing when it comes to trading. How is it that major US announcements result in the USD dominating pairs (EUR/USD, USD/CAD...) ? Why would this happen? It just doesn't make any sense. There has to be reason for this. I can't seem to think of one other than collusion. The market movers having an understanding that should major announcements be one thing, they jump in the other way, drive the price, then as everyone piles on, they trip and reverse.

Price usually goes back to what it was doing after the news release. Trading Fundamentals is a whole nother ball game, usually people with very deep pockets. You really have to know what you are doing to trade news.

In Technical Analysis the 'WHY' of news 'in general' is unimportant. News that matters is maybe something like a major policy change at the central bank, the start of world war, a country defaulting, etc.

Trading fundamentals is a good strategy, but it's probably one of the most difficult. You have to really understand what you are looking at. Trading fundies is not necessarily trading the news releases; I consider that to be different.
