I would personally always recommend people learn fundamental analysis. I tried with technicals for ages and never made money, got into fundies and it totally changed my trading. Fundies are the reasons why the currencies move the way they do. So if you know why the move, you know which way they'll move in the future.
Central banks control monetary policy which is the movements in interest rates, which causes the currencies to move. Take a look through my thread "Fundamental Trading with a Directional Bias" or drop me a PM and I'm happy to help.
