It is not a secret that in Forex Market both profit value and the ability to influence the price movements depend on the size of the funds. Banks have the biggest influence on the market as they trade with the largest capitals and can deliberately alter the price of the currency in order to support the macro economy of a country or just make a good profit. An average currency trader, even with a relatively big capital cannot direct the market to the certain direction. Even the biggest players in Forex are not able to take a full control of the price movements. A fierce fight takes place on the Asian markets for such currencies as USD/JPY, EUR/JPY. On the one hand many
Singapore Forex traders use this moment in order to increase their funds, but on the other hand it is a very risky strategy. The thing is that technical analysis of Forex market cannot forcast news which for a short time can change the price for 100 pips and lead to the opposite trend.
At certain hours of a day Foreign Exchange market becomes very slow and even freezes because of the breaks in the main trading centers in the world. When trading starts in USA it is the most unpredictable time in the market in terms of technical analysis. While staying in the market alone, US banks can urge big price movements for up to 1000 pips. They try to push the price to the levels of massive stop-losses of the traders who traded in the opposite direction. If they succeed, the total closure of the positions radically changes the direction of the market. This process brings huge profits in a short period of time. If you study the market, you can notice these tricks and may use them for enlargement of your own capital.
The international financial markets attract a focused attention of the entire world and each piece of news makes its own movements in currencies’ rates on the Forex market.

The most important thing when trading according to the levels of support and resistance is to invent a certain criteria of the breakthrough of these levels as a moment to enter the market. The aim of every
Singapore trader is to find the best moment of entering the market. A trading method of support and resistance levels gives perfect opportunities to get a good trend.
Singapore Forex market is very chaotic and unpredictable. Its complex system is influenced by many factors of the outside world and causes its volatility.
Let’s use the graphs of any
Singapore broker to see what is hidden behind a candlestick chart when it shows a potential breakthrough of the support or resistance level. The most patient traders who are already in the market and don’t close the open positions will have their positions open hoping for the end of the market’s correction. The more emotional traders will notice the opportunity to enter the market on the opposite side, trying to catch the top of the market’s trend. The rest will remain as watchers, not entering the game and their decisions on the further development of the situation will be different.
At this stage, the direction of prices stays uncertain, since the opinions of the traders in the market are different. In addition to that there are still many other traders who are currently not trading and they are not in a hurry to open positions.
Every person has his own minimal measure of minimum uncertainty that is needed to enter the market. This criterion is directly related to the psychology of the person. Though every trader has his own levels of risk, so they will start trading at a certain price level at different time. When the majority of traders make their decision and enter the market in a certain direction, the market will become the most certain. In the graphs it will be presented by a long trend in a certain direction followed by some price corrections.
There are many external factors that influence on the market’s direction. The most important one is a fundamental factor based on the analysis of the economical indicators as well as the technical conditions laid down in the past movements. When all these parts contribute to the price movement in the same direction, an experienced trader can recognize a potential trend before it starts.
Therefore to recognize a strong trend with a high level of probability, we recommend you to make a detailed research of the price movements in the past along with technical and fundamental analyses that will give you much more certainty than watching the chart waiting for the breakthrough of the resistance or support levels.
