Question

Football and basketball announcers and analysts sometimes use fundamental analysis and sometimes use technical analysis to assess the likelihood that the Mountaineers will win a particular game. Can you give an example of sports-related fundamental analysis? How about an example of technical analysis? (Hint: When you take into account that the star quarterback of the opposing team is injured, is that fundamental or technical analysis? When the announcer says that the momentum of a game has shifted, is that fundamental or technical analysis? How about when the announcer notes that the power forward has hit four three-pointers in a row, and so will probably hit the next one?

Explanation / Answer

Based on technical analysis and example for a basketball analyst would be to predict a win for the Warriors in their next game, because theyve had an amazing season so far with an unmatchable record.

Based on fundamental analysis an example for a soccer analyst would be for him to predict a win for a team B after they´ve had tied a game 3-3 after they we´re down 3-0. it would be fundamental to think that the momentum of the game had changed
