What really Makes Markets Move in a Given Day?

You do need to do a lot of your own research but ....

When markets make big moves they need to digest them (and be sure that the current area is value) before moving on so big big days are usually followed by digestion (but not always).

I never have the faintest what the day will bring - I just watch it and trade what it gives me.
 
Quote from Bullz n Bearz:

Ok, I see some days the 30 yr T-bonds move sideways, today it moved up, a few days back moved down..

What the heck is the reason the markets move like this?

I mean, how can I be prepared for today's 20 pt moveup in this particular market?


Same with the dow, one day it'll be down 200 points, the next day it will be up 20.

Why do markets do this?

The most clearest explanation of why would be appreciated.. I'm not into reading real techincal definitions..

bulls vs. bears. Bulls make it go up. Bears make it go down.

I posted specific answers to questions like this before in the past a few times here at EliteTrader.com

Simply, no TA stuff and much more in-depth than what's stated in this thread so far.

You'll know why the market is doing what it is doing on most trading days and some of those trading days you can exploit such.

By the way, your also going to need access to historical intraday data going back as many years as you can get your hands on.

In addition, some traders perform well without knowing the why's while others (like me) need to know the why's to understand the price action prior to the appearance of any trade signals.

No. It's the other way around. Covering makes the fastest moves.
