Why does the market move?


Yes, the market moves up and down. Sometimes it even don't go anywhere.

For trader with fewer screen time, the market may seem like it is moving in random. There is no definite pattern, therefore it is impossible to predict.

But the market has it own reason for every moves it makes. I really like what Henry Liu on henryliuforex.com said to me in his book. Think of the market as taxi or a cab than a subway or a train.

The price will travel to a place where there are more orders than anyway around.

So, why does EUR/USD move up?

It does so, because the market perceives (think) at any given time that EURO is more valuable that US Dollar.

The real answer is this: Forex market moves because of fundamental news.
Do you really think that the price act based on your MACD or Stochastic setting? If there is no news release, I think the market will go flat.

Nothing to trade, because there is no emotional aspect in trading that will break the support, resistance nor the trend line.

But news release will give us reasons. Reasons for us to believe that a certain currency is more valuable than its rivals.It is so important to understand Fundamental News. Understanding this will give you a bird's eye view on what actually happen on the market.

Result is, you will stay on the right side of the market most of the time.
