Understanding Market Movement
STEP 1 · LEARN
Price moves because of a constant back-and-forth between buyers and sellers. When more participants want to buy at the current price than sell, price moves up. When more want to sell, it moves down.
Market movement is not random noise — it's the visible result of shifting pressure between buyers and sellers.
