Hi Zion_Lion,

The financial asset stop and turn at particular points because this points is not a desired area/price (black figure) to trade by market participants.

Market participants is all the Market, from retail trades to hedge funds, so, when we have a directional idea for any currencie, stock or index, we trade in the most traded price and the target is another most traded price from past days, but, for the price arrive to this new point, the price have to break this "not desired area".

It is because there are certain demand and supply areas called supports and resistances in a currency pair. So the price pull back when it reaches that support and resistance level. If it don't pullback and breaks a support level (or a resistance) then the price go down very quickly to the next support (resistance) level and a resistance (or a support) is created in place of broken support(resistance) level.
